💰 Spurs vs. Thunder best bet
See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.
The Spurs are in a strong spot to cover +6.5 tonight in OKC because they’ve already proven they can compete with the Thunder all season, winning the regular-season series 4-1. Victor Wembanyama creates matchup problems Oklahoma City still hasn’t fully solved, especially defensively around the rim.
San Antonio also enters the Western Conference Finals with momentum after eliminating Minnesota in six games. While OKC has been dominant at home and unbeaten in the playoffs, the Spurs’ size, transition offense, and ability to slow the pace should keep this game close deep into the fourth quarter.
