The OKC Thunder will welcome the San Antonio Spurs next in the NBA, looking to maintain their 100% start to the season. The Thunder top the Western Conference standings, while their visitors are 12th. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Thunder have won their three opening fixtures and dominated each game. Mike Daigenault’s men, whose defence is ranked first, won each by at least a 15-point difference. Their most recent a 128-104 victory over the Hawks was the biggest.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a team-high 28.7 points while Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are adding 23.7 and 18.7 points respectively. OKC claimed a 3-1 series win over the Spurs last season.

The Spurs are having another inconsistent start to a campaign, having lost twice in their opening three matches. One of their losses, which was their heaviest, came in their only away outing.

Gregg Popovich’s men began the season with a 120-109 loss to the Mavericks. They would bounce back at home against the Rockets in the first game of a back-to-back with Houston. On the second night, they were defeated 106-101.

The Spurs, who have Devin Vassell and Tre Jones unavailable, are averaging 106.3 points. Victor Wembanyama is putting up a team-high 20 points while Jeremy Sochan is adding 19.
