Through the first three games of the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder have alternated between three different starting lineups en route to lopsided victories in all three tilts.

On Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs, Mark Daigneault stopped the starting carousel by repeating the first five for the first time all season.

So far this season, the Thunder have started Isaiah Joe, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins in three games with the center four. On Wednesday, with a nationally televised game against the San Antonio Spurs, the Thunder will return to Wallace’s well.

Wallace will once again be flanked by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren against a Spurs team that features former Thunder guard Chris Paul, Julian Champagine, Jeremy Sochan, Harrison Barnes and Victor Wembanyama.

While all eyes are on Wembayama-Holmgren confrontationIt’s interesting that the Thunder’s bench boss reverted to defensive ace Wallace before trying his fourth different starting unit with Alex Caruso sliding into the mix.

Tonight, the Thunder will be without Isaiah Hartenstein (hand), Jaylin Williams (hamstring), Kenrich Williams (knee) and, of course, Nikola Topic (ACL), who is out for the entire 2024-25 campaign.

In his first start on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, Wallace scored a season-high nine points, grabbed six rebounds, had two assists and had three steals while going 4-of-11 from the floor in a season-high 29 minutes. . of action. The Thunder earned a 19-point victory over the Bulls that night.
