San Antonio Spurs vs OKC Thunder betting tips

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has an over/under of 27.5 points. SGA is favored to go over since he returned from injury to drop 40 points last night. With playoff seeding on the line, bet on the All-Star guard to score at least 28 points.

Chet Holmgren is favored to go under 2.5 blocks against the Spurs. Holmgren has only registered three blocks in two of his last five games. Ignore the odds and place your money on the lanky big man to go over 2.5 blocks.

The OKC Thunder are the overwhelming favorites to beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. The Thunder are in no position to take it easy with the No. 1 spot still up for grabs.

The Spurs won't be pushovers despite missing three key starters and have won five of their last 10 games. However, oddsmakers are still predicting that the Thunder will get the win and cover the spread. The total is expected to go over 226 points.
