NOTABLE

Aldridge averaged 23.5 points in four meetings with OKC last season, secondmost among opponents he faced more than one time. The Spurs’ first-round draft pick in 2008, Hill is on his sixth team since being shipped to Indiana in the 2011 Kawhi Leonard trade. He is one of five non-lottery picks from the draft to remain in the NBA. With a season-best 25 points in Sundays loss at Minnesota, Walker became the seventh different Spurs player to lead the team in scoring through 10 games this seaon. That is the most in the league.
