The San Antonio Spurs host the OKC Thunder this Tuesday night. The fact that the Texas team won’t have Gregg Popovich is a huge minus, but this is an additional motive for the Spurs to win. Meanwhile, the Thunder is ready to get back at the top of the conference, and for that, the visitors need a win here.
OKC Thunder News
A three-win streak OKC had was interrupted with a loss at home to the Dallas Mavericks, 121-119. Now, after a stretch of several meetings at the Paycom Center, the team from Oklahoma hits the road.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the seventh-best scorer in the NBA, with 28.5 points, and he hits 50.5% of his shots from the field. However, OKC will have to face many problems because Chet Holmgren and several other players, like Alex Caruso, won’t play due to injuries.
San Antonio Spurs News
The Spurs are 6-8. They are without Gregg Popovic, who had a stroke and will probably be gone for quite some time. That’ll be a big hit for Wemby and the boys who already experienced back-to-back losses.
Interestingly, San Antonio’s most recent defeat was against the Dallas Mavs, the same as OKC’s. Wembanyama is a game-time decision, but according to all the sources within the Spurs’ franchise, he should be able to play.

OKC Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs Betting Tip
