Two of the best teams in basketball will meet Saturday night when the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder clash at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Thunder have long been the safe play when they take on the Spurs, as OKC is 15-7-1 ATS in the last 23 games against San Antonio, which includes 10-2 SU and ATS at home.
- The Thunder enter Saturday on a six-game winning streak.
- The UNDER is 6-1 in the Spurs past seven games on the road.
- Kevin Durant has scored 20-plus points in 57 consecutive games he has played.
Gregg Popovich is not treating this affair like a marquee matchup, as the Spurs will rest LaMarcus Aldridge, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Kawhi Leonard will also be out as he is dealing with a bruised quad suffered on Wednesday. The Spurs pretty much have the second seed locked up in the West, barring a miracle and/or collapse of epic proportions, so the results of this game won’t affect the team greatly.
In case you’ve been living under a rock you should probably know that Russell Westbrook is good as basketball. The Thunder point guard has six triple-doubles in the month of March while averaging an absurd 20.2 points, 11.1 assists and 8.6 rebounds per game.
