The San Antonio Spurs will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time this season, and before one of the most hotly-anticipated games of the season, we have you covered with everything you need to know before tipoff.
For the second time this season, the San Antonio Spurs will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. After beating them in the NBA Cup, the Spurs have to prove that the victory was not a fluke, and a win--or at least a close game--is required to keep the Spurs cemented as a threat in the Western Conference.
The Spurs, hopefully, will get a much-needed boost from their home fans. The Spurs and Thunder will play again on Christmas, and hopefully, each team will have a less lengthy injury report for that marquee matchup.
Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.

There has been some speculation that Wembanyama is actually missing this game to fly back home to France to attend a funeral, although he would have been listed out for "personal reasons," which is not a rare designation.
The reality is he has played five games in ten days, in four different cities. The Spurs have made it no secret that they will exercise and aubandance of caution with their franchise player, so missing this game in order to be fully rested for a holiday showdown in OKC on Thursday makes sense from a medical and practical standpoint.
Without Wembanyama, who was a +21 in the last game against the Thunder, expect the Spurs to struggle.
