Victor Wembanyama dodged the NBA media like he owed them money following the San Antonio Spurs’ most recent loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He’s preferring to answer those pending questions with actions in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals.
The message coming out of the San Antonio locker room is clear: Wembanyama needs to be more aggressive on offense. Our Thunder vs. Spurs predictions believe that if anyone is up to that tall task, it’s the 7-foot Frenchman.
With San Antonio set as a 3.5-point favorite and its season on the line at home, our NBA picks like Wembanyama to top is scoring prop on May 28.
Thunder vs Spurs Game 6 prediction
Thunder vs Spurs best bet: Victor Wembanyama Over 27.5 points (-125)
Victor Wembanyama didn’t take his first shot of Game 5 until 3:15 of the first quarter.
That passiveness trickled down into a 5-for-15 night. Wembanyama didn’t run the floor, wasn’t attacking mismatches, and like everyone’s car with these gas prices: was running on fumes.
That can’t be and the San Antonio Spurs know it.
“He has to take more than 15 shots,” stated coach Mitch Johnson.
“We need him to be aggressive,” pleaded guard Stephon Castle.
San Antonio gets Wemby going early and often in Game 6. Projections call for 27 points with 18 FGAs. I forecast at least 22 shots.
COVERS INTEL: Looking back at the last 21 times Wembanyama took 15 or fewer FGAs (without injury impact), he’s followed those quiet efforts by averaging 28 points in the next game. He’s topped 30 points in nine of those outings.
Thunder vs Spurs Game 6 same-game parlay
San Antonio continues to contain SGA, hoping the Oklahoma City Thunder’s role players take a step back on the road. The Spurs benefit from some home cooking after a disjointed Game 5 offensive effort. San Antonio is excellent at returning serve, with a 20-6 SU record when coming off a loss this season, including 5-1 SU in those scenarios in the playoffs.
The Game 5 final score blew the closing total of 216.5 out of the water. San Antonio wants to get out and run in transition and with OKC’s other scorers waking up (hello Chet Holmgren), this series is trending into shootout category. Before the WCF, the Thunder and Spurs produced regular season totals above 230 points. I like another higher-scoring finish on Thursday.
