Spurs at Thunder picks and predictionsPrediction
Thunder 119, Spurs 111
PASS.
The Thunder (-325) should figure things out, especially at home, but they are far too expensive to consider here.
BET SPURS +9.5 (-115).
The Spurs are surging, and they have competitive guards and a strong second unit. They have scored at least 124 points in 3 straight games, so their offense has been efficient, even against a quality defense like OKC. San Antonio is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 regular-season games as an underdog.
The Thunder seem to have lost some of their identity, especially offensively. They have scored 122 or fewer points in 5 straight games. From Nov. 28 to Dec. 10 (6 games), they topped that amount in every game. Something has been off, and against a lengthy team like San Antonio, it might be hard to separate by a significant margin.
Take SPURS +9.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 234.5 (-110).
These teams know each other well, and this should be a highly competitive game with Christmas Day games being what some consider the kicking off of the season. The Thunder have gone Under in 3 of their last 5, allowing 112 or fewer in 8 of their past 9 contests.
The Spurs are just 2-3 O/U in their last 5 regular-season games, allowing 113 points or fewer in each. Considering the defensive strengths and that this should have heightened competitiveness, take UNDER 234.5 (-110).
