Spurs vs Thunder Prediction
The Thunder have ruled out Jaylin Williams, Isaiah Hartenstein, Chet Holmgren, Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins, while the Spurs are keeping an eye on Victor Wembenyama who is dealing with a left calf injury. The Thunder have continued to pile on the wins despite missing so many key players to injury, but they are playing this game on zero days’ rest after beating the Grizzlies last night. The Spurs come into this meeting with plenty of momentum, they are the healthier team, and they’ve already beaten the Thunder less than two weeks ago. This could go either way, so I will take the Spurs with any points I can get in this spot.
