Series History

The Thunder is 1-0 against the Spurs so far this season (1-0 at home, 0-0 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (-7.5)

Despite being one of the best shooting teams in the league, the Thunder has struggled mightily the past few outings. As a result, the defense has come up big in some tough wins, but I expect the tides to turn tonight. OKC should light it up against a far inferior team, and realistically a double-digit victory should not be out of reach.

Why the Game Will NOT Hit the Over (242)

It’s definitely possible for this game to hit the point total, but because I expect OKC to put up a lot of points, that would mean San Antonio would have to keep the game close. I don’t see this being a crazy blowout with a lot of scoring from both sides, so I’m taking the under on the point total.
