The San Antonio Spurs are currently considered contenders for the 2025-26 NBA season, but one NBA scout has stated that they are now their "favorite" team. The scout predicts that their dominance over the playoffs will lead to "nightmare" games for teams. Despite their age and inexperience, the Spurs are considered a strong contender for the title. The team is currently 55-18 on the year, sitting in second place in the Western Conference and two games behind the first-place Oklahoma City Thunder.
