Victor Wembanyama out against OKC

On November 20, 2024By Littum

The OKC Thunder will face San Antonio Spurs on the road at 20.30 on Tuesday.

OKC (11-3) suffered a 121-119 home loss to Dallas on Sunday. The Thunder won their first meeting of the season against the Spurs on October 30 by a score of 105–93.

San Antonio (6-8) suffered a 110-93 road loss to Dallas on Saturday. Spurs will be without Victor Wembanyama, who has a right knee contusion.

Here’s a preview of the game, including score predictions, odds and injury updates.

Thunder vs Spurs Prediction, Picks

Justin Martinez: OKC 109, San Antonio 94

OKC is still short-handed at center with Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams out. But with Wembanyama out for Tuesday’s game, the Thunder should be able to get away with going narrow. I expect a bounce-back performance from OKC, who are looking to put a disappointing loss against Dallas behind them.
