NBA Betting Trends

Oklahoma City

The Thunder are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven road games, but just 1-4 ATS in their last five games against Southwest Division opponents.

San Antonio

The Spurs are 5-0-1 against the spread in their last six games following a loss and 6-1 ATS in their last seven Thursday games.

Prediction:

The Thunder haven’t been playing well as of late and now they find themselves as a road favorite against a San Antonio team is 16-6 against the spread at home. The Spurs have been gradually improving throughout the season and seem to be hitting their stride. We can’t say the same of the Thunder and that is reason enough for me to take the home underdog.

NBA Prediction: San Antonio Spurs +1.5
