Tag: San Antonio Spurs

OKC is a slight favorite in San Antonio against the Spurs, and I feel like this line could be much larger. Take Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out of the equation and throw in that this is the second game of a back-to-back, and it starts to make a little more sense, but still, the Thunder should be able to win this one comfortably. They will likely mess around and make it an interesting matchup, but I still think OKC covers in the end.

In the first meeting on November 30th, the Thunder beat the Spurs 119-112. That was without Shai Gilgeous-Ander, and while the Spurs were missing a few guys as well, I think the Thunder is a much better team, and if all goes well, they should be able to beat the Spurs while easily covering the 7.5-point spread.

The Oklahoma City Thunder should be fresh on Tuesday night as they are coming off three days of rest following a 128-125 overtime loss to the New Orleans Pelicans at home on Friday night. The Spurs are in town less than 24 hours after defeating the Utah Jazz 126-122 in San Antonio.

The Spurs are the coldest team in the league right now, riding an 8-game losing streak. They have won just once in the last 15 games. OKC isn’t exactly hot, winning just once in the last six tries, but they’ve played teams close, and while they’ve not covered the spread when they’re actually favored, I think they pull one out easy tonight at home.
