San Antonio returns to action after a 10-day layoff and four postponed games. The Spurs will be without DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White, Rudy Gay and Keldon Johnson. OKC's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 27-plus points in four of his past six games. The Spurs are dealing with some rust and missing four key players, so my line on this game is OKC -5.
On Jan. 12, the Thunder let a close game against San Antonio slip away. They scored just two points in the final three minutes to lose, 112-102. On Wednesday, with the Spurs returning after 10 days off, there should be opportunities for Oklahoma City on the offensive end. Take the Thunder.
Yes, the Spurs are 9-2-1 ATS on the road this season. However, this is not a normal game for them. They haven’t played in 10 days because of an outbreak of COVID-19 on the team and will be without several key players for this matchup, including DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White and Keldon Johnson. That’s just too much to overcome.
OKC has burned me over and over this season and this is my last time backing the Thunder if they do it again. No, they aren't very good and have been largely terrible at home, but the Spurs haven't played since Feb. 14 due to a COVID outbreak and will for sure be without DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White, Rudy Gay, Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and Quinndary Weatherspoon due to protocols/personal reasons and perhaps LaMarcus Aldridge too due to injury. OKC as least will have Al Horford after he at Monday and the team burned me at +7.5 vs. Miami, losing by 14 despite up 9 at the half and only down 2 entering the fourth. But I'm not bitter ...
