The San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder collide once again at the Paycom Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Thunder vs Spurs Prediction. This article will include a Thunder vs Spurs Pick.
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have cooled off a bit recently, as they’ve lost five of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back after falling painfully short to the Timberwolves in a 104-103 road defeat on Sunday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 29 points on eight of 18 shooting, Keldon Johnson added 15 points off the bench, while Julian Champagnie chipped in with 14 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Spurs shot just 39 percent from the field and 13 of 38 from the 3-point line. They played great defense in the first half to lead by as many as 19 points, but they allowed the Timberwolves to stick around. It cost them in the fourth quarter where the Spurs got outscored by 33-18 to lose the lead with just 16.8 seconds left on the clock.
Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have continued their strong run as they’ve won seven of their last nine games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after routing the Heat in a 124-112 win on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 29 points and eight assists on 10 of 19 shooting, Jalen Williams added 18 points on nine of 13 shooting, while Chet Holmgren and Ajay Mitchell each scored 16 points. As a team, the Thunder shot 51 percent from the field and 10 of 34 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start. They trailed going into halftime and didn’t have control of the contest until the third quarter where they exploded for 39 points to pull ahead and win comfortably at home.

Thunder vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still slightly shorthanded with Devin Vassell still out, while the Thunder have ruled out Isaiah Hartenstein and Nikola Topic. These teams have already met three times this season with the Spurs winning each contest, and they won the last two by double digits, so they are certainly tempting as the underdogs in this spot. However, the Thunder has been in terrific form lately and more importantly, they are getting players back from injury, which tells me that this meeting might be different. Perhaps the Spurs keep this game close, but the Thunder is desperate for some revenge, and I think they get it done at home in this spot.
