The San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder duke it out at the Paycom Center on Wednesday night.

The San Antonio Spurs have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 13 of their last 14 games and they will be hoping to snap an eight-game slide after falling short to the Lakers in a 143-138 loss on Saturday. Keldon Johnson led the team with 26 points and 10 rebounds, Tre Jones added 23 points with eight rebounds and 13 assists while Devin Vassell chipped in with 20 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 50 percent from the field and 18 of 37 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Lakers in a back and forth contest, until the third quarter where the Lakers went on a run to put them behind by 16 points which proved just too much to overcome despite scoring 41 points in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been in a real funk as they’ve lost five of their past six games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling short to the Pelicans in a 105-101 road loss on Monday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 31 points, six rebounds and four assists, Luguentz Dort added 14 points with five assists while Aleksej Pokusevski chipped in with 11 points. As a team, the Thunder shot just 37 percent from the field and 12 of 38 from the 3-point line as they got off to a poor start and had to claw back from a 13-point deficit to take the lead with just 52 seconds left on the clock, but the Pelicans closed the game on a decisive 5-0 run to steal the game from them in the end.  

Looking at the betting trends, the Spurs are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games, 0-5 ATS in their last five games against a team with a losing record and 0-6 ATS in their last six games overall. The Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team below .400 and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games playing on one days rest.

Head to head, the under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings overall, the Spurs are 1-4-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall and the Spurs are 7-19-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings in Oklahoma City.

The Spurs are again shorthanded as Jakob Poeltl is still out while Josh Richardson, Keita Bates Diop and Blake Wesley are all questionable while the Thunder are keeping an eye on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who is questionable with a left hip contusion. The Spurs are coming into this game in terrible form and low on troops so I expect the Thunder to take advantage and get the much-needed win at home.
