Series History

The Thunder is 2-0 against the Spurs so far this season (1-0 at home, 1-0 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (-11)

The Spurs have lost by more than 11 points 13 times this season. That means that just a little over 25% of their losses have been by that margin. In February, it’s happened 6 times out of 10 losses, but just once since the All-Star Break. I’m not sure what to make of these numbers, but because OKC has blown out San Antonio by 36 and 26, I’m going to say that the Thunder covers the spread.

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (235.5)

The Spurs haven’t been winning games, and they are not likely to keep this one close, but OKC can put up plenty of points for both teams to help cover this point total. The Thunder and the Spurs combined for 210 points in their first meeting back in November, but they put up 254 total in the second meeting a little over a month ago. I feel like this one is far more likely to go on the high side than the low side, so I’m taking the over.
