Stop us if you've heard this before, but Jalen Williams remains with a questionable tag that has been attached to him for the majority of the 2026 postseason.

With the San Antonio Spurs back home to try and force a Game 7, the Oklahoma City Thunder are hoping their star guard can suit up.

Here's a look at the Jalen Williams odds for Game 6, as we provide some Thunder vs. Spurs predictions surrounding the guard if he gets the green light.

Key takeaways

  • Injury status - While no call has been made officially, Jalen Williams remains questionable as he looks to get back from a hamstring injury
  • Best bet to make: Jalen Williams Over 0.5 threes (-140) - With Williams likely trying to avoid challenging Wemby in the paint on a bum hamstring, he will likely opt to shoot more from deep
  • More available props - Books have priced the majority of props in advance in case J-Dub is good to go, posting points (13.5, +102), assists (3.5, -110), and rebounds (3.5, -110).
  • McCain brings the pain - If Williams sits out, Jared McCain will surely continue to get increased floor time for OKC. The Year 2 pro started in Game 5 and will likely get the nod again after putting up 20 points. His points line currently sits at 12.5 (-135)
  • Shorthanded Thunder - Williams isn't the only player who would sit for OKC, with Ajay Mitchell already ruled out for Game 6

Will Jalen Williams play tonight?

Jalen Williams suffered a Grade 1 left hamstring strain in OKC's opening-round series against the Suns, and he hasn't been able to shake the damn thing since.

J-Dub went on to miss the entire series against the Lakers in Round 2, and he's missed every outing since leaving Game 2.

Hamstring injuries aren't anything OKC wants to eff around with, so it is likely he sits another night with the Thunder holding a 3-2 series lead. As of now, no call has been made.

Latest Thunder vs Spurs odds

Jalen Williams player props tonight

Sportsbooks have posted player props for Jalen Williams for Game 6, just in case he's ready to go for tonight.

Market bet365
Over 13.5 points +102
Over 3.5 assists -110
Over 3.5 rebounds -110
Over 0.5 threes -145
Over 0.5 steals -180

Even if Jalen Williams does play, it's hard to predict how many minutes the Thunder want to run on that tender hamstring. The play that caught my eye was his 3-point prop.

We only need one to cash it, and J-Dub will likely rather heave from deep than try to test his luck in the paint against Victor Wembanyama.
