Justin Martinez: OKC 114, San Antonio 110
OKC has all the motivation to win this game against a San Antonio team that eliminated it in last year's playoffs. It also has all the weapons, with Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell now healthy. They'll take shot creation and playmaking pressure off of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, in addition to brining other things to the table. And while Victor Wembanyama will be a handful, the Thunder has enough elite defenders to keep the rest of the Spurs' guys in check. Give me OKC on the road in a good one.
