NOTABLE

This is a rematch of Thursday’s double-overtime thriller in San Antonio, which the Spurs won 154-147. The 301 combined points were most in an NBA game since 2006.

With 56 points against the Thunder, Aldridge increased his season scoring average by nearly a full point from 19.8 points per game to 20.7.

DeRozan has posted three outings with at least 10 assists this season, including 11 against OKC. He had three such outings total in 675 games with Toronto. This marks the third time this season the Spurs have played consecutiv­e games against the same opponent. They split the games in both of the previous instances against the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver.
