Sunday, November 7th finds the San Antonio Spurs facing the. Oklahoma City Thunder for the first time this season.
San Antonio arrives having defeated the Magic while the Thunder return home having taken down the Lakers for the second time this season.
Last season, the squads played three times with the Thunder winning two of the three contests. The Spurs hold the all-time record having bested the Thunder in 97 of their 177 matches.
San Antonio Spurs
While this iteration of the Spurs is drastically different from the clubs Gregg Popovich coached to five titles he’s having a great time seemingly invigorated by the young roster.
Although they have just three wins this season they are competitive and a fun group to watch because they share the ball and on any given night they’ll serve up balanced scoring or a different youngster taking the lead.
On Friday, it was Dejounte Murray who took center stage producing a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds along with seven assists and three steals.
He was joined by five teammates who also registered double-figures in the victory including Keldon Johnson who scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Jakob Poeltl is out due to COVID and Zach Collins is out indefinitely recovering from ankle surgery.
Oklahoma City Thunder
If the Thunder could play the Lakers every game they’d be in the mix for the playoff race but alas they’ll only get two more opportunities this season.
Instead, it won’t be surprising if Mark Daigneault does the little in-game tweaks to ensure the Thunder continue to pile up “L’s” in order to land the top draft pick this summer.
That might be a bit of a hard sell for cornerstone Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who is clearly ready to ascend a level up in the star rankings. SGA was spectacular in both matches against the Lakers.
In erasing the 19 point deficit he put his team on his back punctuating his dominance by pulling up from the logo to drill a 3-pointer. To start the season he looked rusty but was having to deal with double and triple teams.
Yet, as budding stars are apt to do, he’s figured out the coverages and is once again connecting with high efficiency. Versus LA he shot 9 of 17 (52.4%) from the field, 4 of 7 (57.1%) from deep, and 6 of 6 (100%) from the line to collect 28 points. He added three rebounds, six assists, a steal, and a block.
Six Thunder players scored in double-figures with Derrick Favors collecting a 10 point, 12 rebound double-double.
The Thunder sent Isaiah Roby down to their G-League affiliate the OKC Blue. Gabriel Deck (heel) is questionable for Sunday.

Free San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Prediction:
Neither club is vying for a playoff berth intent to be in the mix for the top draft pick but in the early season, they’ve both proven to be competitive teams who’ll surprise on any given night.
Ultimately, the OKC Thunder are much more committed to the tank and while beating the Lakers twice in a row was fun don’t be surprised if they revert back to their tanking ways.
