*Update: the Oklahoma City Thunder have announced Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant will sit tonight.
Thanks to the Golden State Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs no longer have the opportunity to become the first team to go unbeaten at home in the regular season. I’m getting the feeling head coach Gregg Popovich will be just fine with that, however, as the Spurs have the opportunity to finish 40-1 if they can beat the Oklahoma City Thunder at the AT&T Center tonight.
- The total has gone OVER in five of the Thunder' last six games with a closing total of 204.0 or more.
- The Spurs are 12-2 SU in their last 14 games after a loss.
- The Thunder are 1-5 SU in their last six games on the road against the Spurs.
This is a potential second-round playoff matchup, but you’ll have to excuse both squads if they’re lacking urgency tonight. Until its recent three-game slide, San Antonio hadn’t lost three consecutive games all year long. The Spurs are coming off a 37.8 percent shooting performance versus the Dubs – the second-lowest mark of the campaign.
The good news for Spurs backers is the Thunder have been atrocious when it comes to playing on little rest. OKC hammered Los Angeles 112-79 on Monday, but is 1-5 SU in their last six games in the second half of back-to-back games.
