Spurs at Thunder picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 126, Spurs 114
Moneyline
Even with the Thunder favored to win at home, I'll PASS on their moneyline at -450 odds. Taking a team at -450 odds straight up is never worth the risk given the minimal profit you'll receive if the team wins.
Against the spread
THUNDER -9.5 (-115) is the play in this matchup as the Spurs are a young team still finding their footing, while the Thunder are a team showing signs of being a playoff team. Oklahoma City is 7-3 ATS and San Antonio is 4-6 ATS this season.
The Spurs could also be without a couple of their key players on Tuesday, and a fully healthy Thunder squad just beat the Suns by 12 points.
Over/Under
OVER 236.5 (-115) is the ideal wager on the total as both of these teams want to run in transition and push the pace. Both teams are top 8 in pace through their 1st 10 games.
The Thunder are also 8th in offensive rating, while the Spurs are 29th in defensive rating. With San Antonio being a below-average team defensively, it has hit the Over in 9 of its first 10 games.
