Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.
According to the official schedule that was released at the beginning of the season, tonight should have been the first meeting between the Spurs and the Thunder, but instead, they met on December 13 in the NBA Cup Western Conference finals, with the Spurs scoring a upset 111-109 victory. The Silver and Black were led by Victor Wemanyama, who came off the bench and played limited minutes after missing almost a month with a left calf strain. He’s on the injury report again tonight, listed as questionable with the same issue, which continues to be something to watch for the Silver and Black. Victor should once again come off the bench tonight, and it remains to be seen what his minutes restriction is going to be, if it’s like the last couple of games, he could play something between 20 and 24 minutes, with the Spurs limiting him enough so that he can hopefully be available for the rematch on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City.
The Spurs are on a 6 game win streak1, but with a pair of games coming up against the league-leading OKC squad, it might be difficult to stretch the string of consecutive victory to 7 or 8, but the Spurs have shown that they can’t be counted out against any team in the league, and they have a great chance of winning one or both of these games, although I expect OKC to be favored in both. The Spurs have been hitting their stride recently, and these next two games should give Spurs fans a chance to see if they’re truly deserving of the lofty second-place standing in the Western Conference. The Spurs can’t just be the Wemby show tonight if they want to win, they are also going to need great games from Spurs stalwarts like Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, and Luke Kornet. Hopefully, Harrison Barnes is back to being Mr. 100%, and if all of them can show up, and the bench with Keldon Johnson can also step up, it could be another big win. If they can win tonight, they’l remain in second place in the west, but they could slip to third with a loss, unless the Nuggets also lose to Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will receive at least two or three foul calls on plays where he is not touched by a defender.
