Although the Thunder are in first place in the Western Conference with a 24-1 record, the Spurs have been fantastic so far this season in their own right. Despite Victor Wembanyama missing several games due to a calf injury, San Antonio is still 17-7 through its first 24 games this year.

When healthy, the 21-year-old superstar is averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 3.6 blocks per game while shooting 50.2% from the field and 34.5% from beyond the three-point line. Each category, besides blocks per game and three-point percentage, are all career-highs for Wembanyama right now.
