OKC Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell will miss his second consecutive game Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
Mitchell was ruled out Monday due to a right soleus (calf) strain, while Jalen Williams remains questionable to play with left hamstring strain injury management, which caused him to miss the last two games.
Meanwhile, San Antonio has a clean injury report. It also has momentum after earning a 103-82 home win in Game 4 on Sunday that tied the series at 2-2.

Thunder vs Spurs predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 111, San Antonio 108
OKC clearly missed the shot creation of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell during Game 4, as it scored a season-low 82 points. And if both players are unable to suit up again for Game 5, it’ll be another uphill battle for the Thunder. But I expect a better performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished with just 19 points on 6-for-15 shooting. I expect more 3-pointers to go down for OKC, which only went 6 for 33 (18%). And I expect bench players such as Alex Caruso and Jared McCain to provide a better spark. I’m going with the Thunder at home.
