My NBA Pick of the Day for Tuesday, May 26, expects a big performance out of the Spurs in Spurs vs. Thunder.

This matchup tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET, with NBC broadcasting the game live from the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, OK. The Thunder are favored by 4.5 points, and the total is set at 216.5.

💰 Spurs vs. Thunder best bet

See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.

With the series tied 2-2, expect a desperate and focused effort from the San Antonio Spurs tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Even though the game is in Oklahoma City, San Antonio has already shown it can compete with OKC’s speed and physicality throughout this series.

Victor Wembanyama’s length continues to create matchup problems on both ends - which also influences Corey Scott's Spurs vs. Thunder player props - while the Spurs’ defense has forced the Thunder into difficult half-court possessions. Oklahoma City may win outright at home, but +4.5 gives San Antonio valuable cushion in what should be another tight playoff battle deep into the fourth quarter.
