Preview

The San Antonio Spurs continue on the road and will visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. These teams have met two times so far this season, each team took the win at home and the total went under on both games.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS

San Antonio had won three of four before taking another loss against the Bulls. Lonnie Walker IV scored 21 points for the Spurs, and All-Star Dejounte Murray had 19 points and 11 assists.

Offensively, the team ranks 8th in the league averaging 111.7 ppg. Dejounte Murray is leading San Antonio in scoring and assists with averages of 20.0 points and 9.3 assists per game, while Jakob Poeltl is the leading rebounder with an average of 9.0 rebounds per game..

They continue to struggle defensively as they rank 29th in the league allowing 114.69 ppg and they have lost 16 of their last 24 games.

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

The Thunder finished their losigin streak after beating the Knicks in overtime at New York. Giddey had a triple-double with a career-high 28 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, Mann scored a career-high 30 points and Oklahoma City rallied from an 11-point deficit in the second half. Giddey became the youngest in NBA history with back-to-back triple-double games.

The team is averaging 101.12 ppg and allowing an average of 107.74 points per game. Opponents are shooting 44.64% overall and 34.16% from behind the three-point line, which are 9th and 10th respectively.

J. Robinson-Earl, Jerome, Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams and Muscala are out.

BETTING TRENDS

San Antonio are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of San Antonio's last 5 games played on a Wednesday.

Oklahoma City are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Oklahoma City's last 5 games against San Antonio.

Prediction

With the Thunder having so many players out and scoring an average of 101.59 pts at home and the Spurs averaging 109.28 ppg on the road, I expect this game to go Under the total. The total went under in the last 5 head to head games. Under is the play.

PICK: Under 218.5 (-110)
