San Antonio Spurs vs Oklahoma City Thunder - Game Prediction

Before their pivotal Christmas Day showdown on Thursday afternoon, both sides had faced off twice this season, with San Antonio emerging victorious in both encounters. The Thunder are 2-3 in their last five games, but they have only dropped four games this season. The Thunder were eliminated from the NBA Cup by San Antonio as well, but Victor Wembanyama and company are reportedly underdogs on Thursday.

Although the Spurs' victory on Tuesday came on the second night of a back-to-back for the Thunder, OKC's prospects of surpassing the record for regular-season wins are seriously threatened with yet another defeat. In the Western Conference standings, the Thunder are now only 3.5 games ahead of the Spurs after starting the season 24-1. Now, the new NBA rivals are ready to face each other.
