San Antonio Spurs vs OKC Thunder preview
The San Antonio Spurs enter this matchup riding a strong momentum, winning four of their last five games, including back-to-back wins on the road. However, they will be facing their strongest test yet on Saturday against the reigning champions.
They will lean heavily on their potent offense, which averages 120.1 points per game, the sixth-best in the NBA. However, defensive improvement is needed, with the team currently allowing 115.4 points per game, the 13th-best mark in the league.
Victor Wembanyama is expected to return from injury against the Thunder and was leading the Spurs with 26.2 ppg and 12.9 rpg before going down. In his absence, De’Aaron Fox stepped up, averaging 24.0 ppg.
On the other hand, the Thunder have picked up right where they left off. The reigning champions are riding a 16-game win streak and will be aiming to capture the NBA Cup after falling short in last season’s final.
They enter the matchup as the NBA’s most balanced team, boasting the league’s top defense, allowing 106.2 ppg. Offensively, they are just as lethal, averaging 123.6 ppg, the second-best mark in the league.
Unsurprisingly, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been their best player this season. The reigning MVP leads the team with 32.6 ppg and 6.5 apg, while Chet Holmgren has been their second-best performer, recording 18.4 ppg and 8.0 rpg.
In terms of injuries, the Spurs have a healthy roster for this matchup. Meanwhile, the Thunder will be without Isaiah Joe, Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber.
