San Antonio Spurs vs Oklahoma City Thunder
The Western Conference Finals opens with a fascinating matchup between two elite defensive sides that know each other extremely well. San Antonio’s length and versatility caused Oklahoma City problems throughout the regular season, while the Thunder continue to dominate at home behind relentless pressure defense. Expect a playoff-style grind with contested shots, physical defence and star players forced to work for every bucket.
Spurs +6.5 — $1.90
San Antonio has consistently matched up well against OKC and has the defensive structure to keep this close deep into the fourth quarter. The Spurs have covered regularly during this playoff run, while the Thunder haven’t yet faced a team with this level of familiarity and size.
Selection
- Spurs +6.5
Victor Wembanyama Over 13.5 Rebounds — $1.90
Wembanyama’s presence on the glass has been massive throughout the postseason, and he should again be heavily involved against the Thunder frontcourt rotation. In what projects as a lower-scoring, defensive game, there should be plenty of rebounding opportunities available.
Selection
- Victor Wembanyama Over 13.5 Rebounds
Devin Vassell 2+ Three Pointers Made — $1.90
With Oklahoma City likely collapsing defensively around Wembanyama, Vassell should see quality catch-and-shoot opportunities from deep. He remains one of San Antonio’s key perimeter threats and only needs a couple to fall to cash this leg.
Selection
- Devin Vassell 2+ Three Pointers
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 29.5 Points — $1.90
The Spurs have the length and defensive personnel to make life difficult for Shai, and this shapes as one of the tougher defensive matchups he has faced all postseason. With San Antonio likely throwing multiple bodies at him and slowing the pace, the under looks appealing.
Selection
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 29.5 Points
