Away
+9.5

The Oklahoma City Thunder, spearheaded by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (averaging 32.5 points) and Chet Holmgren, boast a stable core roster. They have a near-complete lineup with only fringe players sidelined. San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama is questionable for this game; his absence would significantly diminish the team's interior defense and offensive threat. The Thunder have a formidable home record of 14 wins and 1 loss, making them a tough opponent on their court. They've also performed well recently, securing 8 wins in their last 10 games. The Spurs hold a road record of 10 wins and 5 losses. Despite their current seven-game winning streak, the back-to-back schedule and consecutive away games pose a considerable challenge to their stamina. The main betting line has the Thunder favored by 6.5 points, with a total points line of 236.5. Given both teams' efficient offenses, the likelihood of a high-scoring game is considered significant. The Thunder lead the league in defensive efficiency, conceding only 103 points per game and controlling turnovers effectively. The Spurs rely on ball movement for offense, but the Thunder's defensive strategy is highly targeted, particularly in limiting outside three-pointers. (The Spurs' win rate is only 30% when their three-point percentage is below 35%). This is expected to significantly constrict the Spurs' offensive space. In their two previous encounters this season, the Spurs emerged victorious by narrow margins. However, the Thunder have home-court advantage and will be looking for revenge.
