KEY GAME INFORMATION
SAN ANTONIO: GUARDS: TONY PARKER played at an MVP level last year. His eye injury is obviously not an issue, and he was constantly getting on coach Gregg Popovich to let him finish meaningless games last year. There's no reason he can't repeat last year's performance . . . MANU GINOBILI dealt with a series of nagging injuries last year, and it's clear the team will have to monitor his regular-season workload . . . GARY NEAL provides solid minutes in this rotation, mostly at the point, and is able to consistently knock down threes . . . DANNY GREEN's rotation spot is in a bit of peril. He was too much of an offensive liability in last year's Western Conference Finals . . . NANDO de COLO is a combo guard who can provide instant offense off the bench. He can shoot it and does a nice job getting to the line . . . PATTY MILLS steps in as another viable option in this loaded backcourt . . . CORY JOSEPH's roster spot is in jeopardy after a middling D-League season. FORWARDS: TIM DUNCAN will continue to save it up for the playoffs. He still has plenty left in the tank, but he'll get tons of rest in March and April and more and more often defers to Tony Parker on offense when he does play . . . There's plenty to like about KAWHI LEONARD, who proved to be useful on both ends of the court last season. He'll be asked to be a little more aggressive offensively this year and should even have a couple of sets designed for him . . . STEPHEN JACKSON was a bit of a disaster in Milwaukee before landing with the Spurs last year. He's another veteran who will be paced during the regular season. And while he's been a facilitator in the past, he's really just a catch-and-shoot guy in San Antonio . . . MATT BONNER will continue to come off the bench and hoist some threes. CENTERS: BORIS DIAW's pick-and-pop ability makes him Popovich's top choice in the center rotation . . . TIAGO SPLITTER looks to be a career second-unit guy. He works hard and can defend, but he's just too clunky on the offensive end . . . DeJUAN BLAIR can pick up some cheap baskets, but his lack of offensive skills and defensive size makes him a fringe rotation player.
OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: RUSSELL WESTBROOK can do whatever he wants inside the arc and will continue to be a shoot-first point guard . . . JAMES HARDEN will likely keep coming off the bench, but he'll also keep playing starter's minutes . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA is OKC's best perimeter defender. But his role won't become more prominent until the postseason . . . ERIC MAYNOR should be just about all the way back from his torn ACL. When healthy, he's one of the league's best backup point guards . . . DAEQUAN COOK will see limited minutes as a three-point specialist . . . REGGIE JACKSON's role will shrink to near nothing if Maynor is healthy. FORWARDS: KEVIN DURANT continues to do it all, and has done nothing but steadily improve each season . . . SERGE IBAKA is obviously an elite shot-blocker, but he continues to get lost in space. He's made some strides as a pick-and-roll defender, but that weakness is why he doesn't play 30 minutes per night . . . NICK COLLISON will continue to steal a lot of Ibaka's minutes because he defends the pick-and-roll better, and because he draws so many charges, he's almost as good in help situations . . . PERRY JONES III is an incredible athlete, but needs a year or two to learn the game . . . LAZAR HAYWARD is back as a 12th man. CENTERS: KENDRICK PERKINS will continue to start, but is a part-time player. The Thunder are often better with a small lineup. While Perkins is a bruiser he is too easy to exploit as a defender in space . . . COLE ALDRICH could be ready for a slightly bigger role off the bench . . . HASHEEM THABEET is a reclamation project. There's a sliver of long-term hope, but he won't help this year.

*Spurs-Thunder Preview* =======================

By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer

San Antonio (55-19) at Oklahoma City (54-20), 9:30 p.m. EDT

With four days off, the Oklahoma City Thunder have had plenty of time to prepare for one of their biggest games of the season.

While the San Antonio Spurs won't be quite as fresh, they should have mostly everyone available.

The Thunder try to inch closer to catching the Western Conference-leading Spurs as these powerhouses square off Thursday night in Oklahoma.

After winning four of five, Oklahoma City (54-20) finds itself 1 1/2 games behind San Antonio with less than two weeks remaining in the regular season. The well-rested Thunder know winning this game could go a long way in their quest for the West's No. 1 seed, especially considering they would lose the season series if the Spurs win.

"To get four days off is going to help your body and help your mind, just to give you some physical and mental rest is always good," said coach Scott Brooks, whose team hasn't played since winning 109-99 at Milwaukee on Saturday.

"We know we're playing one of the best teams in the league, and we're going to focus on playing well against them. There's no doubt they challenge you in a lot of different ways, but it's good for us. It's always good to the best teams down the stretch."

Oklahoma City has outscored the Spurs (56-19) by an average of 12.0 points in taking four straight home matchups, including three victories in last season's conference finals. The Thunder won 107-93 on Dec. 17 behind Serge Ibaka's 25 points and season high-tying 17 rebounds, but that came between a pair of losses at San Antonio.

"I don't look at this next game like it's a must win," said Kevin Martin, who scored 17 points Saturday. "It's a game that we want to win, we want to play well."

While Manu Ginobili remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury, the Spurs could otherwise be at full strength. After sitting out Wednesday's 98-84 win over Orlando, Tony Parker (ankle), Kawhi Leonard (knee) and DeJuan Blair (stomach virus) are all likely to be available.

With those key pieces out, Danny Green stepped up to score 20 points and Gary Neal added 16 off the bench. The Spurs, who limited the Magic to 38.9 percent shooting, improved to 32-2 when holding opponents under 43.5.

After missing Monday's 92-90 loss at Memphis with a sore knee, Tim Duncan returned but played just 14 minutes and had five points.

"We wanted to jump on them and give some of our guys a rest," Green said. "It's always good to get the win first. The rest will hopefully help the team come (Thursday). Guys are sore and banged up a little bit. So hopefully they come out fresh."

San Antonio has lost its only three road games this month and also has dropped three straight when playing the second of games on back-to-back days.

While the Spurs will surely focus on slowing down Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, containing Martin could also prove key. The Thunder have gone 28-4 when he has at least 16 points.

Martin scored 20 in the Dec. 17 win but had 15 and nine, respectively, in the two losses at San Antonio.

Durant has averaged 22.7 points against the Spurs this season - easily his fewest against any West opponent and 5.6 below his NBA-leading mark. He scored 36 in Friday's 101-93 loss at Minnesota, then 30 against the Bucks.

Westbrook recorded his first triple-double of the season Saturday with 23 points, a season best-tying 13 rebounds and 10 assists. He's shot 34.8 percent in this season series.
