The Oklahoma City Thunder travel to the AT&T Center to take on the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Here’s a Thunder vs Spurs Prediction.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in great shape as they’ve won seven of their last nine games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight win after outlasting the Trail Blazers in a 111-109 win last night. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 33 points, 10 assists and five steals, Jalen Williams added 19 points while Aaron Wiggins chipped in with 13 points off the bench. As a team, the Thunder shot just 48 percent from the field and seven of 23 from the 3-point line as they squandered an early 13-point lead, before they made up for it when it counted most thanks to Jalen Williams who made the go-ahead basket with just 2.1 seconds left on the game clock.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team Facts

- Five of the Thunder’s last six games on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.
San Antonio Spurs
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in a real funk as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting beaten by the 76ers in a 133-123 road loss on Monday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 33 points on 10 of 19 shooting, Devin Vassell added 22 points with nine assists while Jeremy Sochan chipped in with 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 41 from the 3-point line as they did surprisingly well to hang in the contest, until the third quarter where they allowed 42 points to trail by 19 points at one stage. The Spurs will face the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves after this game.
San Antonio Spurs Team Facts

- The Spurs have covered the spread in eight of their last nine night games.

Thunder vs Spurs Prediction
The Thunder coming into this meeting with plenty of momentum after last night’s thrilling win over the Trail Blazers and now they’re up against a slumping Spurs team who have lost five of their last six games. These two teams have already met once this season with the Thunder winning by 123-87 back on Jan 14 and I’m expecting a similar result here. The line is short enough, so I’ll stick with the Thunder to stay hot with another win and cover on the road.
