The highly anticipated Thunder-Spurs Western Conference Finals series begins tonight. Unfortunately for the Spurs, they’re going to be short-handed for Game 1. Star point guard De’Aaron Fox has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

Fox has been playing through the ankle injury for the majority of the playoffs. On paper, it hasn’t seemed to affect him much: the former All-Star is averaging 18.8 points per game on 46.2% shooting. But clearly, it was getting bothered towards the end of the Timberwolves series. Now Fox will rest for Game 1 against the Thunder, likely thrusting rookie Dylan Harper into starting point guard duties.

As it stands, San Antonio is listed as a +210 road underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Oklahoma City is priced at -250 on the moneyline.
