Oklahoma City opened the season with a 116-104 road win over San Antonio, and Mark Daigneault said the matchup helped the Thunder learn an opponent that had changed its look.
Houston opens tonight against Dallas while integrating Fred VanVleet, Steven Adams, Marcus Smart, and Bogdan Bogdanovic, after Dorian Finney-Smith moved on.
San Antonio opens against Oklahoma City tonight after overhauling its frontcourt, adding Tobias Harris and three big men while Jayden Quaintance rehabs a pre-draft injury.
San Antonio listed Tobias Harris and Jayden Quaintance out for opening night, while Oklahoma City ruled out Thomas Sorber, Nikola Topic and Otega Oweh. The preview also says coach Mitch Johnson had expected more minutes for the Fox-Castle-Harper guard group this season.
