The spurs organization was fined for that but the Spurs played well against the Heat (James, Wade, Bosh all played), they lost the game at the end but did cover the +11.5 or so spread.
On Dec 19th, 2013, the spurs played against the Warrirs on the road without Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, again they were on the second night of back to back, this time they managed to beat the Warriors 104-102 and covered the spread.
I'm not saying the spurs will definitely cover the spread tonight, they played two triple overtimes in three days, but they do have a history in this kind of games.
