Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder host the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals tonight on NBC and Peacock.
San Antonio:
- PG De’Aaron Fox
- Fox is questionable for tonight’s contest after missing Game 1. If healthy, his speed and quickness could challenge OKC’s defense, but he’ll have to hold off Dylan Harper, who starred for the Spurs in the first game of the series.
- SG Stephon Castle
- Castle put up 17 points and 11 assists in Game 1, but also committed 11 turnovers. If he can cut down on those in Game 2, it’ll go a long way.
- SF Devin Vassell
- Vassell, Castle and Carter Bryant provided excellent defense on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Game 1, with Vassell knocking in a few timely 3-pointers as well.
- PF Julian Champagnie
- The St. John’s product logged 44:06 in Game 1, hanging ably against the varied Thunder attack.
- C Victor Wembanyama
- 41 points, 24 rebounds, a Steph Curry-summoning 3-pointer. It’d be hard for The Alien to top his Game 1 performance, but I’m excited to see him try.
Oklahoma City:
- PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
- SGA never looked comfortable in Game 1, putting up 24 points (and 12 assists) on 23 shots. The presence of Victor Wembanyama cuts off his driving lanes, and the Spurs are rangy enough to bother his stepback jumpers.
- SG Luguentz Dort
- We’ll see who Mark Daigneault chooses in this spot. Dort, Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace and Jared McCain all had moments in Game 1.
- SF Jalen Williams
- Williams returned with aggression on offense, putting up 26 points on 25 shots, but a limited ability to affect Victor Wembanyama on defense.
- PF Chet Holmgren
- Wherefore art thou, Chet? The Thunder need more than 8 points and 8 rebounds from their unicorn big man.
- C Isaiah Hartenstein
- I would be interested to see if Hartenstein could give Wembanyama any trouble. He lost minutes to Alex Caruso in Game 1, who was stellar, but ended up battling Luke Kornet to limited impact.
