San Antonio returns home Thursday facing its first elimination game of the Victor Wembanyama era, with Oklahoma City one victory from the NBA Finals after taking Game 5.
Game 6 turns on the stars: Wembanyama was limited to a series-low 20 points in Game 5, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 32 despite shooting 38.3% in the series.
ESPN's projections still lean slightly toward the Spurs at home, with a 54% win probability and a 220.6-point forecast, even as sportsbooks list San Antonio as a 3.5-point favorite.
Oklahoma City's depth remains a swing factor, and Jalen Williams is listed game-time decision with a hamstring issue as the Thunder try to close out the Western Conference finals.
Will Alex Caruso's record shooting continue, or can Wembanyama's dominance force a Game 7?
Can the Spurs exploit OKC's injuries to overcome a daunting historical disadvantage?
