Thunder Still Searching For First Home Win
The Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the San Antonio Spurs at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Tuesday evening.

This marks the first game back home after a five-game road trip for the Thunder (5-4), where they went 4-1, after they closed out the trip with three straight wins. Despite their success on the road, the Thunder are still searching for their first home win of the season, with a 0-3 home record. The Thunder are averaging 104.9 points per game, which is third fewest in the league, and they are giving up an average of 108.6 points against, leaving room for improvement on both ends of the floor. Shai GIlgeous-Alexander is leading the Thunder with team highs of 21.0 points and 6.8 assists per game. Darius Bazley is averaging 11.2 points and a team-high 8.3 rebounds per game, while Al Horford is averaging 11.3 points and 7.1 rebounds, in 27 minutes per game.

Meanwhile, this marks the fifth and final game of a road trip for the Spurs, (5-5), where they have gone 3-1, with wins in L.A., against the Clippers and the Lakers, followed by two contests in Minnesota, where they won the first and lost the second. The Spurs will be looking to get back on track to close out the road trip and add to their 4-2 road record. DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been the Spurs' best player so far, but he missed their most recent contest and is expected to remain sidelined for Tuesday's contest. Dejounte Murray has been playing well, averaging 16.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. Keldon Johnson has also been playing well, averaging 13.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. The Spurs are averaging 111.1 points per game, but they are giving up an average of 113.1 points against. They are shooting an average of 39.2 percent from long range, which is third best in the league, but they are attempting just 30.9 threes per game, which is fifth fewest in the league.
