The preseason has arrived, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are set to face the San Antonio Spurs in their opener. With the Thunder favored by 3.5 points, the game will showcase their depth despite missing some regular starters.

Key players to watch include Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso, with Hartenstein's performance particularly under scrutiny. Rookies like Dillon Jones and Ousmane Dieng will also have the opportunity to prove themselves as the Thunder aim to establish their roster dynamics.
