The Spurs are on the final stop on their five-game road trip. It started with impressive wins over the Clippers and Lakers, but last time out, without DeMar DeRozan, San Antonio mustered just 88 points in a loss to Minnesota. OKC has won four of five. The Thunder shoot the third-most treys in the NBA, while the Spurs give up an NBA-high 40.9 percent from deep. Grab the points.
The big news in this game is that DeMar DeRozan (personal) will be out for the Spurs. He also skipped Sunday’s eight-point loss against Minnesota. San Antonio scored only 88 points in that game, which is no surprise given that DeRozan is their offensive leader with an average of 21.2 points. The Thunder have won four of their last five games as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing well, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them take advantage of DeRozan’s absence and pull off another victory.
My model says the Thunder cover well over 60 percent of the time, so you're getting strong value at this number. Oklahoma City is riding a three-game winning streak, with each of the last two victories being by double digits. Since being limited to eight points against New Orleans on Dec. 31, G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has increased his total every outing during the Thunder's five-game road trip - producing a season-high 31 in Sunday's win at Brooklyn. San Antonio began its five-game trek with three victories but scored a season-low 88 points in Sunday's loss at Minnesota. Take Oklahoma City.
