The Spurs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite. The Thunder are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Spurs last 5 Tuesday games. The over is 7-2 in Thunder last 9 home games. The Spurs are 6-17 ATS in the last 23 meetings in Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have turned things around over the last week or so, but I still don't trust their offense to score down the stretch and this is a team I like more in the larger underdog role. The San Antonio Spurs are a club we've backed a lot since the NBA bubble, and while their straight up results are inconsistent, they continue to compete and cover numbers. In a near pick em spot, I trust the Spurs more. I'll lay the bucket here.
