NBA FREE PICK: Take the Spurs. According to latest NBA trends, Spurs are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 Wednesday games, 14-4-1 ATS in their last 19 games following a ATS loss, 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 games playing on 1 days rest,  20-7 ATS in their last 27 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and are 33-16-2 ATS in their last 51 vs. Western Conference.  Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. This is it for the Spurs. A loss here and their long run of dominance could be over. The plus for the Spurs is coach Gregg Popovich, who inserted sixth man Manu Ginobili into the starting lineup for the first time in the playoffs and was rewarded with a game-high 34 points Monday night. However, the move came with a cost, as the Spurs’ bench was outscored 42-22 and the team committed 21 turnovers, including five apiece by Ginobili and point guard Tony Parker, who has struggled with his shot. Pops will probably go another direction and look to get Parker going. San Antonio has a lot of pride and even if they go down, this will be a 1-2 point game and they will cover.
