The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the San Antonio Spurs in arguably the most anticipated Christmas Day game this year.

The bad blood between Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama fuels this new-age rivalry in the NBA. This will also be the third time these teams have faced each other in December.

The Thunder have been borderline unstoppable to begin this season. Led by reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC has still not lost a game at home to begin its 2025-26 campaign.

The Spurs are an exciting team riddled with young talent such as Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper. Despite having a lack of experience, this young core stared OKC in the face and did not flinch in the NBA Cup semifinals.
