Williams recently made his season debut after rehabbing an injury, and his assist numbers are currently a career-best, averaging 6.2 dimes across six appearances. He’s also cashed the Over in assists in two of his last four games. Williams also averaged 6.7 dimes against the Spurs last season across three appearances.
Normally, I wouldn’t be confidently taking Wemby to score under 20 points in any game. He’s clearly taken a step up in Year 2, averaging 26.2 points per contest. However, we need to take into account that the Spurs phenom is returning from a month-long injury tonight. He last played on November 14. While this game is crucial, San Antonio also won’t be pushing him to play heavy minutes, and his workload likely won’t be as huge as usual. Also, they’re facing the Thunder, the reigning champions who have the ability to lock up anyone. Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein are physical enough to give Wemby issues.
SGA has cashed the Over in points in three of his last four appearances, scoring 33 against the Dallas Mavericks and 38 against the Golden State Warriors. SGA had 28 on Wednesday night in a massive blowout win over the Phoenix Suns in the quarterfinals. However, Gilgeous-Alexander did hit the Over in points in two of his previous NBA Cup outings. He’ll show out once again.
No Wemby? No problem. The Spurs have been playing well without their superstar center, and the team is 9-3 straight up across its last 12 games. San Antonio took down the Los Angeles Lakers on the road on Wednesday, and they’ve built up some positive momentum heading into Saturday’s tilt with the Thunder. While OKC has been even hotter, San Antonio can keep this one close, especially in a neutral environment with Wemby set to return. The Spurs are 13-10-1 ATS, and the Thunder are 14-11. Both teams have covered in six of their last 10, so there is no clear advantage here for OKC. I'm taking the Spurs to keep this one competitive.
