Thunder at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 122, Spurs 117
Moneyline
The Thunder have struggled on the road this season, going 12-20 away from home. But the Spurs have not been good at home. They are only 11-22 at AT&T Center, although they have won 2 of their last 3 home games.
The Thunder are 3-7 playing on no rest this season. However, the Spurs are the worst team in the league playing with a rest advantage at 3-10.
There is better value betting the spread, though.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Thunder are 39-35 ATS overall this season and have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games. They are 2-0 ATS against the Spurs this season. The one bad trend is the Thunder’s 0-5 ATS mark in their last 5 road games against teams with a losing home record.
The Spurs are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games and are 16-15 ATS at home. San Anotnio is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 Sunday games and 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games playing on 1-day’s rest.
BET THUNDER -3.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The 2 games between the teams have had totals of 230 and 244 points. Seven of the last 10 for the Thunder have had over 235 total points.
The Over is 9-1 in the Spurs’ last 10 games following a win. The Over is 6-0 in the Thunder’s last 6 games playing on no rest.
