OKC Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs preview

The OKC Thunder are on a six-game winning streak following a lopsided victory over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. The Thunder remain in contention for the top spot in the Western Conference. They just need to continue to keep pace with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have lost five in a row and nine of their last 10 games. The Spurs are content with how Victor Wembanyama is playing despite the piling losses. Wemby is already among the best defenders in the league, and it's scary to think that he's only going to improve.
