NBA Betting Trends
San Antonio
The Spurs are 9-4 against the spread in their last 13 games as a road underdog and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog.
Oklahoma City
The Thunder are 19-7 against the spread in their last 26 games overall and 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games on 1 day of rest.
Prediction:
These two have split two games at San Antonio this season. I like the Thunder to grab the rubber match and cover tonight. The Spurs are on their third game in four nights, all on the road in different areas of the country. They have to be fatigued and could possibly be without their scoring leader as well. The spread is big for OKC, which isn’t a team that blows out a lot of people, but I think their defense will really keep the Spurs in check and allow them to cover with some ease.
