Spurs vs. Thunder Pick
Spurs vs. Thunder Spread Pick
- Spurs +6 (4 units)
Oklahoma City owns the league’s top mark but the Spurs have had their number this season. San Antonio has won all three meetings, including knocking Oklahoma City out of the NBA Cup when the teams collided last month. The Spurs are minus Vassell but they still have the majority of their core on the floor for this one. San Antonio has been solid on the glass this season and they are above average on the defensive end of the floor. If there is a team that can be kryptonite to Oklahoma City, it’s San Antonio. Seeing how the Spurs have already beaten the Thunder in Oklahoma City this year, take the points and the visitors behind Wembanyama.
Spurs vs. Thunder Over/Under Pick
