The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs are about to square off for the 2026 Western Conference crown. The series features two young teams built for sustained contention.
The matchup pits Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is likely to win his second straight MVP award after averaging well north of 30 points per game in the last two regular seasons, against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Gilgeous-Alexander has posted 29.1 points per game in these playoffs so far, though his output dipped to 24.5 points per game against the Lakers in the prior round. Jalen Williams is set to return for Oklahoma City to bolster the lineup.
