At first glance this looks like a good spot for a turnaround from last game, with Spurs letting down after a big blowout win, and OKC rebounding from the resounding loss. However, Spurs are a hungry team. In Gms. 3 & 6 vs. Minnesota, we saw them followup home blowout wins with strong efforts on the road, both wins and covers (and totally dominant in Gm. 6). I see no reason for this tendency not to continue.
I also like, for the sake of this bet, that OKC is not at full strength for this game, which they would need to be to be able to take care of business at home here in Gm. 5. One key cog is missing (Ajay Mitchell), and a second, Jalen Williams, seems less than a 50% proposition to play (Hamstring strains are tough enough as it is, this is a reaggravation, and Thunder are conservative with injuries, taking the long view rather than trying to rush a plyer back).
