The Thunder are coming into this game with a 18-39 record overall and they are 9-18 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 5 of their last 6 but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 5 game losing streak that they were on. Their 5 losses in that span were against the Sacramento Kings, the Golden State Warriors, the Toronto Raptors, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Chicago Bulls while their win came against the New York Knicks in their last game.

The Thunder are coming into this game off of a win in OT against the Knicks in their last game. That win snapped a 5 game losing streak for them but the Knicks have been struggling a lot recently and the Thunder will have a tougher time against the Spurs here who have been heating up in their recent games. The Spurs are coming off of a loss in their last game but they have won 2 of their last 3 games and 3 of their last 5. Their loss in their last game was against the Bulls, one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season, but their 2 wins prior to that loss were both by double digits against the Hawks and the Pelicans. Both of those teams have a lot more talent than the Thunder do and the Thunder will be missing their 2 best players in this game. The Spurs have been gaining some steam recently and they should continue here with another win by double digits here.
