Keldon Johnson and the San Antonio Spurs take on the Oklahoma City Thunder - 11/19/24

Keldon Johnson's Recent Performance

Keldon Johnson has been on a tear as of late, averaging 25.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists over his last five games. He's shooting 50.0% from the field and 40.0% from three-point range during that stretch.

Johnson's breakout season has been a major factor in the Spurs' recent success. The team has won four of their last five games and is now 10-10 on the season.

Oklahoma City Thunder's Recent Performance

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been struggling as of late, losing four of their last five games. They are now 7-13 on the season and are in 13th place in the Western Conference.

The Thunder have been without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the past two games due to an ankle injury. Gilgeous-Alexander is the team's leading scorer and his absence has been a major factor in their recent struggles.

Head-to-Head Matchup

The Spurs and Thunder have faced each other twice this season, with the Spurs winning both games. In the first meeting, Johnson scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. In the second meeting, Johnson scored 22 points and dished out 6 assists.

The Thunder will be looking to avenge those losses when they host the Spurs on Saturday night. However, they will have their hands full with Johnson, who is playing the best basketball of his career.

Prediction

The Spurs are the favorites to win this game, but the Thunder are always a tough opponent at home. I predict the Spurs will win a close game, 110-105.
