Spurs at Thunder picks and predictionsPrediction
Thunder 120, Spurs 118
The Spurs have beaten the Thunder by 15, 20 and 2. So, naturally, the Thunder are massive favorites because it’s really hard to beat a team of this caliber 4 times. It’s not entirely out of the realm that San Antonio gets it done, though. There’s no bet here.
PASS.
This is an easy one. The Thunder have failed to cover in 5 straight. The Spurs have covered in 3 straight and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7. This is too big of a spread.
Go SPURS +8.5 (-102).
The Spurs are 1-9 O/U in their last 10, but OKC is 6-4 and has hit 3 straight Overs. The Over has hit just once in this matchup this season, but this total is the lowest of the bunch.
Take OVER 230.5 (-105).
