Oklahoma City Thunder | Western Conference Finals Game 6 Preview: San Antonio Spurs
After taking a 3-2 series lead with a dominant win in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder has a chance to earn a second straight trip to the NBA Finals as they take on the San Antonio Spurs on the road in Game 6. The Thunder’s defense has been good, if not great, for most of the series, but the offense has been questionable at times. That was not the case in Game 5 as they shot 48.2% from the field—their highest in the Western Conference Finals so far—and 43.8% from downtown—just below their best in the series.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Looks to Close Out Spurs in Game 6 in San Antonio as Underdog
OKC has a chance to close out the series against the Spurs, and even though Game 6 is in San Antonio, I’m not so sure the Thunder should be the underdog in this one. After a rough outing in Game 4, the Thunder answered in Game 5 with an impressive performance on both ends of the floor. Once again, the narrative is focused on officiating, but in a closeout game, poise and experience are sure to play an important role. Both teams have made adjustments game by game to get a leg up, but at this point, they know each other pretty well. OKC is still the deeper team, even if Jalen Williams continues to sit with a strained hamstring, and I think that will give the Thunder what they need to finish this one out, so I’m not only taking OKC to cover but to win.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Western Conference Finals Game 5 Preview: San Antonio Spurs
Historically, when a playoff series is tied at 2-2, the winner of Game 5 goes on to win the series almost 82% of the time. This one is kind of a big deal.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Favored at Home Over Spurs for Critical Game 5
OKC is still without Ajay Mitchell and likely still without Jalen Wiliams, but playing down a couple of key players is nothing new to this squad. The winner of this game is likely to end up winning the series, so expect another dogfight. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played pretty poorly in Game 4, but the Thunder bench was about as awful as they could be following a historic Game 3. I expect SGA to look more like the reigning back-to-back MVP, and the bench to be much more relaxed playing at home. Victor Wembanyama has been tough to slow down, so what better time for Chet Holmgren to offer a solid contribution? I like the Thunder to win and cover this small spread.
