Tip-off: 8:30pm @ Paycom Center, Oklahoma City | Broadcast: TNT
\u26a1Now or never?
The Thunder were off yesterday, but had a bad night at the draft lottery. OKC did not draw the Sixers' top-6 protected pick, and some Western Conference foes got richer. Dallas won the 2025 NBA Draft lottery, and will almost surely select Cooper Flagg and enjoy a soft landing from the Luka Doncic trade. The Spurs landed the #2 and #14 pick, giving them the opportunity to add an elite long-term piece next to Victor Wembanyama and/or trading from their draft stash to acquire a win-now star like Giannis Antetokounmpo.
