The Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the San Antonio Spurs at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Sunday.

The Spurs (24-31) just picked up an impressive win on Friday, going into Utah and beating the Jazz handily. That's something that not many teams have done this season and fans are just happy that this rodeo road trip is finally winding down to an end. San Antonio had just two wins in the eight road games of this trip thus far and it has crippled any playoff hopes they once had. In fact, the Spurs now find themselves 3.5 games back on the Memphis Grizzlies in eighth and that's tough to make up with the way the Grizzlies are playing. Getting this road trip behind San Antonio is obviously a big plus for the future, especially when you consider that eight of the last 11 teams they've played are all in the Top-5 of their respective conferences. That means that home games and easier matchups are right around the corner which is just what the doctor ordered to get them into the postseason.

The Thunder (34-22) come into this matchup winning 10 of their last 13 games. That run has gotten them all the way up to the six-seed in the west and they're now in striking distance of the two-seed. The Thunder are just four games back of the Denver Nuggets in second and that's a testament to just how good of a season this organization has had. Veterans like Chris Paul, Danilo Gallinari and Steven Adams are obviously a major reason why but breakout years from Dennis Schroder and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are equally as valuable. That core has this franchise in a great spot after losing Russell Westbrook and it'll be fun to watch this team in the postseason behind a hungry future Hall-of-Famer like CP3.

These teams have played three times this season, with San Antonio winning two of the three. That gives the Spurs five wins in their last seven meetings with the Thunder in total.
