The Spurs have not only covered the spread twice against the Thunder in the last 2 weeks, but they have outright beaten them, and it wasn’t exactly close a couple of days ago. San Antonio has played the aggressor, while OKC has looked far too passive in the previous meetings, but I don’t see that happening again, especially in front of the home crowd on Christmas Day. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won’t be the only player in a Thunder uniform to have a big game this time. I think Jalen Williams reminds everyone why he’s one of the best 2nd options in the league, and Chet Holmgren proves he’s a worthy rival for Victor Wembanyama.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Looking Back at Quotes from the NBCA’s Coach of the Year Mark Daigneault
Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault was announced as the NBA Coaches Association NBA Coach of the Year on Monday. The award is voted upon by the league’s 30 head coaches, and while he wasn’t the only coach to receive votes, it’s safe to say he was clearly deserving of the award of turning the Thunder into the youngest team in NBA history to secure a 1 seed just a year after losing in the second play-in game.

OKC looks to get back on track on Friday night as they continue their road trip with a stop in Brooklyn against the Nets. The Thunder hosted the Nets on New Year’s Eve, and after getting off to a slow start, they handled Brooklyn just fine to come out on top 124-108. Brooklyn’s struggles have continued as they have suffered double-digit defeats to the New Orleans Pelicans and Houston Rockets since then, so they are going to try to break their 5-game losing streak by getting a win in front of the home crowd.

Tonight, the Thunder is on the road as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies, who were utterly embarrassed last night in a 144-113 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Like the Thunder, the Grizzlies have been dealing with their own litany of injuries.

Despite OKC leading for a lot of the game, the Jazz were able to knock off the Thunder in Oklahoma City 110-109 thanks to a go-ahead bucket by Donovan Mitchell with 7.0 seconds left on the clock. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was unable to be the hero for a second consecutive game as he missed a layup at the buzzer, but OKC proved yet again that, despite “tanking” being on everyone’s minds, the Thunder is going to be competitive this season.
