Prediction

Timberwolves 111, Spurs 105

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the Timberwolves (-165) spread.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES -3.5 (-110).

Minnesota has won 3 of its last 4 games while scoring 112 or more points in each game. San Antonio has lost 2 of its last 3 with each loss coming by 5 or more points.

San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Utah Jazz (0-4) welcome the San Antonio Spurs (1-3) to Delta Center Thursday. Tip is set for 9 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Spurs vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Spurs won 2-1 last season

The Spurs lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder 105-93 Wednesday, closing as a 12.5-point road underdog. They covered despite taking a 15-point deficit into the half. F Harrison Barnes led the way for the Spurs, scoring 18 points. San Antonio has lost 2 in a row and is 0-2 on the road as well. Both the Spurs road losses have come by at least double figures. They are 2-2 against the spread (ATS) in 4 games.

The Jazz are the only NBA team still without a win; they and the Spurs are the only teams in the Western Conference without 2 wins. Utah is coming off a 113-96 loss to the Sacramento Kings Tuesday, closing as a 6.5-point underdog. It has lost 3 straight games by at least 8 points each. The Jazz haven’t faired well at home either, losing by 41 to the Golden State Warriors and 17 to the Kings in their 2 home games. They are 2-2 ATS.

Spurs at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 110, Spurs 105

Moneyline

BET JAZZ (-135).

The Jazz have several streaky scorers like G Jordan Clarkson and G Collin Sexton who have yet to find their rhythm, but both have proven they can score at an elite level. They should also be the more rested side with the Spurs having spent Wednesday night battling the Oklahoma City Thunder in the national spotlight. San Antonio has averaged 97 points per game over its last 2 and hasn’t found any rhythm offensively.

Despite most of its top talent shooting efficiently, Utah’s top-2 scoring options both are hitting 20% or under of their attempts from deep. The Jazz have an explosive offense, and at home, they should be able to come out on top. At this price, the moneyline is the better play, so back JAZZ (-135).

Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value on the spread here. The Spurs have had 2 of their 3 games finish with a 5-point margin or less. Similarly, the Jazz are a favorite, but have yet to win, so the confidence in them to cover isn’t worth the risk over playing them to win outright.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 223.5 (-110).

Neither offense has proven itself over the last few games. While the Jazz did start out the season hot, scoring 124 on the Memphis Grizzlies, they are 0-3 O/U since and have scored under 102 points in 2 of the last 3 games.

The Spurs are a similar story, having topped the total in their first game and having gone Under in 3 straight. They have both failed to score over 110 points in all 3 of those games and have allowed 106 or fewer points in all 3. Considering those trends, back UNDER 223.5 (-110).

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Oklahoma City Thunder (3-0) welcome the San Antonio Spurs (1-2) to Paycom Center Wednesday. Tip-off is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Spurs vs. Thunder odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Thunder won 3-1 last season

The Spurs lost to the Houston Rockets 106-101 Monday, closing as 2.5-point home underdogs. They opened the season with a 120-109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on the road Thursday and have a win over the Rockets mixed in as well. San Antonio is 1-2 against the spread (ATS) and 1-2 O/U. It is led by F Victor Wembanyama, who is averaging 20 points per game.

The Thunder have been electric to start the season, winning all 3 games by double figures and covering in each as well. Oklahoma City was 3-1 in the preseason and 2-2 ATS. They are coming off a 128-104 home win over the Atlanta Hawks, closing as 10.5-point favorites. It is led by MVP favorite G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is averaging 28.7 points per game.

Spurs at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 114, Spurs 104

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no value here. The Thunder (-800) should come out on top and have proven that consistency already this season. At this value, they aren’t worthy any wager, though.

Against the spread

BET SPURS +12.5 (-110).

The Thunder should gain most of the public vote here, but most of their competition hasn’t necessarily been top-tier opponents with strong frontcourts. Oklahoma City has played Atlanta, Chicago and Denver, the first 2 of which are borderline playoff teams in the Eastern Conference, and the latter has struggled heavily to start the season.

The Spurs, whose top 5 scoring options are all forwards, will be imposing and have had all 3 of their games finishing within 14 points. Expect San Antonio to keep that trend alive, and take SPURS +12.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 220.5 (-105).

Neither team has consistently gone Over this season. The Spurs are 1-2 O/U, and the Thunder are also 1-2 O/U. San Antonio has gone Under in 2 straight games, scoring 110 or fewer points while allowing 110 or fewer.

The Thunder have held all 3 opponents to fewer than 105 points, as well as 2 of 3 to under 96. That said, expect those trends to continue in this prime-time battle, and take UNDER 220.5 (-105).

Houston Rockets at San Antonio Spurs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Houston Rockets at San Antonio Spurs odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Antonio Spurs (1-1) welcome the Houston Rockets (1-2) to Frost Bank Center Monday. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Rockets vs. Spurs odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Spurs lead 1-0

These teams met Saturday, with San Antonio winning 109-106 as a 1.5-point home underdog. The Spurs have tallied 109 points in both of their games this season, losing 120-109 at the Dallas Mavericks in their Thursday opener. San Antonio went 2-3 straight up and 3-2 against the spread (ATS) in the preseason. It is led by F Victor Wembanyama, who is averaging 23 points per game.

The Rockets lost to the Charlotte Hornets at home to open the season Wednesday, a disappointing 110-105 defeat. Houston failed to cover as an 8-point favorite, but did bounce back and beat the Memphis Grizzlies 128-108 Friday. The Rockets were 3-1 straight up and ATS during the preseason, and they are being led by G Jalen Green, who is averaging 26.3 points per game.

Rockets at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockets 111, Spurs 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Spurs have some value on the moneyline, but the preferred play is the Houston spread here. The Rockets are too expensive to take as straight-up favorites given the size of the spread.

Against the spread

BET ROCKETS -2.5 (-110).

The Spurs lost by 11 points in their opener, but bounced back well against Houston. They shot 8% better from the field and 8% better from deep. San Antonio also took more free throws. One should expect some of those to change tides in the second match between these sides.

C Alperen Sengun, arguably Houston’s best player, was held to 6 points last time out and should have a better game Monday. The Spurs are the more injured side, as well, and will be without 2 of their top players. With that in mind, back ROCKETS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 218.5 (-110).

This will be the lowest total of the season for Houston, and the last time it scored fewer than 110 points, it followed that up with a 128-point performance.

The Rockets are 1-0 O/U after going Under the game prior. The Spurs are 1-1 O/U and have tallied 109 points in both games. They are allowing 113 per game as well. That said, back OVER 218.5 (-110).

Season series: First meeting; Rockets won 3-1 last season

The Rockets are coming off a 128-108 win as 3.5-point favorites over the visiting Memphis Grizzlies Friday with the Over (226.5) hitting. G Jalen Green had a team-high 22 points, 1 of 7 Rockets to score in double digits.

The Spurs lost 120-109 as 8.5-point underdogs at the Dallas Mavericks Thursday as the Over (227) cashed. C Victor Wembanyama opened his 2nd NBA season with 17 points on 5-of-18 shooting from the field. G Chris Paul — in his first game as a Spur — finished with just 3 points, but added 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

Rockets at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 115, Rockets 114

Moneyline

The Rockets are coming off an impressive win over the injured frontcourt of the Grizzlies — but how impressive was it? The Grizzlies entered the game 1-0 off a Wednesday 2-point win over the Utah Jazz, but the Jazz just lost by 41 points to the Golden State Warriors Friday, so the Rockets’ victory over Memphis should be taken with a grain of salt.

The Spurs were just 3 points away from covering at the Mavericks — a team with arguably the best player in the world that was just in the NBA Finals. The Rockets are being overvalued in this spot, and the Spurs are not getting enough respect.

BET SPURS (+105).

Against the spread

I prefer the plus-money odds on taking the Spurs straight up, instead of paying -110 for 1.5 points of insurance.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over hit in the last game for both teams, with Houston allowing 65 points to the Grizzlies in the 1st half Friday. In the Rockets’ final 9 games to end last season, they were 8-1 to the Over while allowing 119.9 points per game.

BET OVER 221.5 (-110).

San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks open their seasons Thursday. Tip-off from the American Airlines Center is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Spurs vs. Mavericks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Dallas swept 4-0 last season

The Spurs went 22-60 in 2023-24, the first season of the C Victor Wembanyama era for San Antonio. The Spurs acquired F Harrison Barnes from the Sacramento Kings in July — part of a 3-team deal with the Chicago Bulls — and signed G Chris Paul, who averaged just 9.2 points per game (PPG) with the Golden State Warriors last season.

The Mavericks went 50-32 last season — good for 5th in the Western Conference — and worked their way through the playoffs before losing 4-1 to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. The highlight of their offseason was bringing in G Klay Thompson from the Warriors — part of a 6-team sign-and-trade — to form a big 3 alongside G Luka Doncic and G Kyrie Irving.

Spurs at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 111, Spurs 110

Moneyline

The Mavericks (-400) will likely beat the Spurs for a 5th straight meeting, but this line has too much vig to recommend.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

While the Spurs struggled overall in 2023-24, they ended the season on a high note, covering 9 of their final 11 games. Their regular-season wins total is set at 35.5 (O: -120 | U: +100 at BetMGM Sportsbook), so the market is expecting them to take a huge step forward this year with Barnes and Paul.

Dallas was nothing special at home last season, going 26-25 ATS, according to Teamrankings.com. It will need time to fully integrate Thompson into the offense, and laying 8.5 points against an improved Spurs team seems like an overreaction to last season’s impressive playoff run.

BET SPURS +8.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Dallas was the 3rd-best Under bet when playing at home last season, going 20-31 O/U (60.8%).

San Antonio was 17-22-2 O/U in road games, the 7th-highest clip for cashing Unders. We can only assume that Wembanyama will continue to progress as a defender this season. The Paul signing also gives him another leader on the defensive end — and hopefully helps us cash this Under!

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).

Summer League: New Orleans Pelicans at San Antonio Spurs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s New Orleans Pelicans at San Antonio Spurs odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New Orleans Pelicans (0-2) and San Antonio Spurs (2-0) meet Tuesday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (NBATV/ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Pelicans vs. Spurs odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Pelicans have taken the court twice in the Vegas Summer League, suffering a 91-86 loss to the Orlando Magic Sunday after falling 81-74 to the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday. New Orleans shot 50.8% (31-of-60) from the field vs. Orlando, but the difference was poor free-throw shooting. The Pels were just 70.8% (17-of-24) with 24 turnovers.

The Spurs have won a couple of nail-biters in Vegas, topping the Portland Trail Blazers 83-77 Saturday a day before edging the Atlanta Hawks 79-76 Sunday. San Antonio beat Atlanta despite hitting just 34.2% (27-of-79) from the field, while going just 21.1% (8-of-38) from behind the arc.

Over/Under (O/U): 168.5 (O: -113 | U: -113)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Pelicans at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 82, Spurs 76

Moneyline

NEW ORLEANS (-144) is worth playing lightly as a moderate favorite against San Antonio (+118).

The Spurs were terrible in the California Classic, but they have bounced back nicely to get off to a quick start in Vegas. However, despite winning both games on The Strip, they have lost a lot. Rookie G Stephon Castle suffered a sprained right wrist, and the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft will miss the remainder of Summer League. San Antonio was sloppy and disjointed, as it is. Without Castle, the kingdom is going to crumble.

Against the spread

Backing New Orleans -2.5 (-106) is the lean if you don’t want to lay the -144 juice on Pelicans money line.

The Pelicans have averaged 80.0 PPG in 2 Summer League games, while allowing 86.0 PPG. They’ve had some bad luck, sloppy play and missed opportunities at the free-throw line. If they can clean some things up, it wouldn’t be surprising to see NOLA win outright.

Just don’t bet more than 1½ UNITS between the Pelicans ML (-144) and the Pelicans -2.5 spread (-106).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 168.5 (-113). New Orleans has a very green team which has averaged just 80.0 PPG in 2 games so far. San Antonio has averaged just 81.0 PPG, while allowing just 76.5 PPG in 2 outings in Vegas. Without its top rookie, San Antonio is likely to continue struggling to light up the scoreboard.

Summer League: San Antonio Spurs vs. Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s San Antonio Spurs vs. Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks meet Sunday in the 2024 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Tip-off from Thomas & Mack Center is set for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN2/ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Hawks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs selected G Stephon Castle, who should be active Sunday, at No. 4 in the 2024 NBA Draft and G Rob Dillingham at No. 8, immediately sending him to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Castle dropped 22 points on 8-of-21 shooting in their 83-77 win over the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday. San Antonio was 1-2 in its 3 California Classic games earlier in the month, having lost 97-65 to the Charlotte Hornets and 85-59 to the Sacramento Kings 1 before picking up an 89-67 win over Team China.

The Hawks opened their summer league play with a 94-88 loss to the Washington Wizards Friday in a battle that featured the top 2 picks in the draft. Atlanta drafted F Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 overall pick. He ended his summer league debut with 18 points and 3 triples. The Hawks only have 1 player with multiple years in the NBA, F Dylan Windler. Atlanta didn’t play in either the Salt Lake City Summer League or California Classic.

Spurs at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 89, Spurs 83

Moneyline

PASS.

In all 5 games these teams have combined to play in summer league, the closing spread has been higher than 3 points. Take the Spurs on the moneyline or the Hawks on the spread, although the latter is suggested here.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS -3 (-108).

The Hawks jumped out to a 9-point lead after the 1st quarter Friday, but struggled shooting, going 11-of-39 from deep and just 21-of-35 from the free-throw line. Those should both see improvements Sunday, especially the latter.

Atlanta will have a major size advantage, which should bode well for it on the glass. Given San Antonio snatched 15 offensive boards against Portland, having Risacher in the middle will help. Atlanta started 5 forwards against Washington as well.

San Antonio struggled immensely in the California Classic and will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Considering the size and rest advantage, take HAWKS -3 (-108).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 170.5 (-110).

Both teams like to run, and they’re going to be shooting a bunch of 3s Sunday. The Hawks and Spurs both tossed up 39 triples in their 1st summer league appearance. The Spurs connected on 12, while the Hawks hit 11.

As the players get more comfortable, especially since this is the 1st NBA action for most, they should start to improve from deep. The Hawks scored 23 or more points in 3 of 4 quarters, while the Spurs scored 22 or more in 3 of 4. The consistency should be there in the offensive sets and roster depth.

Take OVER 170.5 (-110).

Summer League: San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers meet Saturday in the 2024 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Tip-off from Thomas & Mack Center is set for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2/ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Spurs vs. Trail Blazers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Spurs entered the 2024 NBA Draft with the No. 4 and No. 8 overall picks. They selected G Stephon Castle, who should be active Saturday, at No. 4 and G Rob Dillingham at No. 8, immediately trading him to the Minnesota Timberwolves. San Antonio was one of just a handful of teams in the California Classic. It left with a 1-2 record, having lost 97-65 to the Charlotte Hornets and 85-59 to the Sacramento Kings 1 before picking up an 89-67 win over Team China.

The Trail Blazers did not compete in the California Classic or the Salt Lake City Summer League, so this will be their 1st action. The Trail Blazers dealt with a plethora of injuries last season and ended with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. They took UConn C Donovan Clingan, who was among the most dominant big men in college hoops. G Kennedy Chandler is another name to keep an eye on for Portland.

Spurs at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 85, Spurs 77

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline isn’t necessarily bad value, but the better and more playable odds here are on the spread. Look there for the best option in this battle.

Against the spread

BET TRAIL BLAZERS -2.5 (-110).

The Trail Blazers should get easier buckets with Clingan, the 7-foot-2 center, in the paint. On top of that, the Spurs, who have 3 games under their belt, lost by 32 and 26 to the 2 other NBA teams they took on. Simply put, the Spurs don’t have a ton of playmakers on the roster having shot under 30% from the field in both games against NBA teams in the California Classic.

Given Portland is bringing 5 players that are 6-foot-8 or taller, it should get more put-back opportunities and have a solid advantage defensively as well. San Antonio doesn’t have a player over 6-foot-9, making a serious disadvantage for anyone guarding Clingan.

Given those challenges for the Spurs, take TRAIL BLAZERS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 167.5 (-111).

The Spurs issues, despite not having Castle, were too much to overlook. Offensively, they scored just 65 and 59 in those 2 games in the California Classic. They would’ve gone more than 10 points under this total in all 3 games, even in their win over Team China.

For Portland, it will be its 1st time taking the court together, and that usually doesn’t produce overly efficient offense. It only has 1 player with more than 1 year of experience in the NBA, as well, so it’s a relatively youthful roster.

With that in mind, expect offensive shortcomings, and back UNDER 167.5 (-111).

Spurs at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 125, Spurs 115

Moneyline

The Thunder (-1600) are 30-8 at home this season, while the Spurs are 10-30 on the road. Their last meeting in Oklahoma City (Nov. 14) was a 123-87 blowout win for the Thunder.

The Spurs are playing well and would love to play spoiler for the Thunder, but OKC is in play for home-court advantage throughout the playoffs, and they are healthy, so don’t go betting the Spurs.

And betting the Thunder at -1600 isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The 15.5-point spread is a lot!

The Spurs have been a very solid bet ATS. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games.

The Thunder are 7-6 ATS on no rest. The Spurs are 5-7 ATS.

The Thunder’s last win by more than 15 points was March 22.

The Spurs only have 1 loss by more than 15 points in their last 21 games.

BET SPURS +15.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The last 2 meetings this season between these teams had totals that cleared 250 points.

Three of the last 4 games for the Thunder have had totals higher than 226.

Half of the Spurs’ last 6 have had totals higher than this game’s projection.

BET OVER 226.5 (-110).
