Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
I considered the Thunder and the points, as you simply don’t get them as underdogs often. In fact, this will be just the ninth time since 2025 where OKC is an underdog. That’s nine times in the last 508 days. However, I’ve been on the Spurs from the start and it’s kind of too late to turn back now. I’m not giving up just because they folded in game 3 after the Thunder punched back from a hot first quarter start. The Spurs are the one team in the league that doesn’t fear OKC and has had consistent success in this matchup. Must win game at home; I expect the Spurs to even up this series. If they don’t, a highly anticipated series will end in disappointing fashion. I’ll lay the bucket.
