Spurs have owned OKC this season, winning SU 3 times. This is not a revenge play, here's what I'm seeing.
We were on the Spurs vs LAL, and I noticed how stagnant their offense gets, esp without wemby. It didnt have any flow, since then they stole the game in BOS and gave up the game in MIN. Now the stats. OKC ranked #2 in HC OFF, #2 IN HC DEF, and #1 in Transition defense. Odds makers have set this line the same spot as last matchups, and I agree with them. I even saw this line open at 9.5 in some spots. It does seem like a big number, but the numbers don't lie. SAS is 10-12th in every HC and Transition category. Winning solves everything, Thunder right the ship tonight at home.
HAWKS -2.5
Remember the Lakers v Spurs game I referenced? Yeah in that same game, I noted how bad the Lakers offense is when Luka is the one man show without Reaves. I love Luka, but LAL just seems to be on a downward trend right now. It why i stayed off of them last night. Hawks are jekyl/hyde as usual his season on the road, but they've played well in DEN and GSW. Hawks have a top 10 HC DEF, TOP 5 Transition OFF, add to the mix that LAL is ranked 25th in HC DEF and 20th in Transition DEF. That's enough for me to take Hawks on the road by a couple possessions.
WARRIORS -10
You may not know, but Blazers are 3-0 su this season in this matchup. And I don't think it continues. Blazers had a nice stretch catching SAS and HOU twice. With Advija out, I do not see this as a good matchup for Portland. Warriors have been clicking on offense lately, even from ole Jimmy Butler. This is a long homestand for GSW and I like them to bounce back from their loss to ATL. Blazers don't run a whole lot, so I don't think they will exploit Warriors transition issues. Clear advantage in the HC for GSW tonight.

You should have seen them last night! The box score doesn't tell the story of how Lebron is lost out there. The pace has become too much for him. Things went from bad to worse when Luka was off the court. Laravia is their best on ball defender and he is just as bad as smart who let me add is arguably one of the worst shooters in the league today. Ayton the only non-luka player who is any good shoots 50% from the foul line! Sorry for the rant about how bad they played yesterday! You were wise to lay off.
