Thunder vs Spurs

Thunder juggernaut faces surging Spurs in a volatile Texas test.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Thunder (25-3) VS Spurs (21-7)

San Antonio Spurs
Moneyline Pick - Oklahoma City Thunder (-265): B

Oklahoma City leans on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s relentless late-game shot creation and the league’s stingiest defense to bounce back from their recent 111-109 loss to San Antonio, even with Chet Holmgren and several rotation pieces listed day-to-day while Victor Wembanyama nurses a calf issue on the Spurs’ side. With the Thunder riding an 8-2 stretch, still owning the West’s best record, and already having blown out San Antonio in this building last season, the matchup edge in half-court defense and perimeter creation justifies laying the price on the favorite moneyline, though the steep -265 tag caps the value at a solid but not elite B-grade. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 23/12/2025 09:58am

Over/Under Pick - Over 234.5 (-112): C+

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs’ balanced attack have fueled an 8-2 run while averaging over 120 points per night, and they now face a Thunder team that’s also 8-2 in its last 10 and putting up nearly 123 per game, with both clubs recently combining for 220 and 278 points in their last two meetings. Oklahoma City’s elite defense and San Antonio’s strong home form tug in opposite directions, but the Spurs’ pace, improved shooting around De’Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell, plus potential defensive slippage from a banged-up Thunder frontcourt, all lean toward another track meet that can sneak past 234.5, though the aggressive total keeps this Over at a more speculative C+ grade. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 23/12/2025 09:58am

Spread Pick - San Antonio Spurs, +7 (-113): B-

San Antonio’s three-game winning streak, 10-2 home record and recent two-point win over Oklahoma City suggest they can keep this close again, especially with Wembanyama, Fox and Vassell capable of exploiting a Thunder rotation dealing with multiple day-to-day injury tags in the frontcourt and backcourt. While OKC’s overall profile and two-way efficiency still make them the likelier straight-up winner, a full touchdown of cushion in a building where the Spurs have already traded blows with elite opponents gives their side of the number more room for a competitive loss or late backdoor, making Spurs +7 at -113 a moderately attractive B- grade against the spread. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 23/12/2025 09:58am
