Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs: Current situation
Not a lot of teams in the NBA will be happy with their current situation like the Oklahoma City Thunder are. Despite losing in the Western Conference semi-finals to Dallas last season, this team has returned with a lot of optimism for this season and they are making the next step in their development. After a pretty favorable schedule in the next 3 games, the Thunder will face 9 teams in a row with playoff aspirations which should give us a good idea where they stand as a unit this season.
It’s all about development for the San Antonio Spurs and their superstar Victor Wembanyama this season. After finishing 22-60 last year, the Spurs are off to a promising start to the new year having held their ground in all 3 games played so far. The addition of Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes has increased their veteran presence, this will likely result in an increase of at least 10 to 15 wins compared to last season. There is no pressure on this team though, if they are able to somehow make it into the play-in tournament that would be considered as a major success.
Oklahoma City Thunder Stats & Form
Hailed by many as the favorites in the Western Conference this year, the Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t disappointed in the first 7 days of the new season. They are a perfect 3-0 and currently own the NBA’s 2nd best Net Rating at +18.4 points per game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander appears to be having another MVP type season, if his team finishes with the best record in the NBA and he continues to produce at the current level he’s producing, he could very well end up lifting the biggest individual award there is in the NBA.
San Antonio Spurs Stats & Form
Despite having a losing record through 3 games, the San Antonio Spurs will be encouraged by their 1-2 start to the new year. Victor Wembanyama has looked really solid in his 2nd year in the league, the scary thing for the league is that he will only get better with age. Speaking of age, Chris Paul is still producing solid numbers despite turning 39 years old earlier this summer. He just had his best scoring game of the year with 16 points against the Houston Rockets. All in all, the Spurs are optimistic after one week of the season.

Betting tip and prediction: Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs (30.10.2024)
Isaiah Hartenstein, Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams are all out with injuries for the Thunder, but that hasn’t left a mark on them so far this season. The lack of size down low could become an issue here as they go up against one of the best rebounders in the NBA in Victory Wembanyama. This was one of the main reasons why they brought in Hartenstein in the offseason, they usually lose the rebounding battle when Chet Holmgren sits on the bench. San Antonio is still a work in progress, but we’ve seen some encouraging things from them in the first 3 games. The offense will have to pick up here though, Oklahoma City holds opponents to just 36% shooting from the field and 26% from three-point land. After beating all 3 of their opponents so far by at least 15 points, we feel very confident that the Oklahoma City Thunder will crush the San Antonio Spurs here. Back the home team to cover the spread.
