Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Slightly Favored at Home Over Spurs in Game 7 of Western Conference Finals
No game in this series has been decided by fewer than 7 points, but that doesn’t mean this one will follow suit. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still looking for a good game by his own standards, and Victor Wembanyama is as focused as he ever has been. I think they both play well, but the real needle-mover in this series has been bench play. OKC’s backups have played extremely well at home, and I see them doing that tonight. I expect a tight game that comes down to the final minutes, with the Spurs fouling the Thunder for some late free throws to cover the spread.
