Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder have been a streaky team all season long, and their current upswing started with that win at home against San Antonio. Oklahoma City entered that game in the midst of an 0-4 SU and ATS slump, but are now moving in the right direction and are still alive for a seed as high as No. 4 in the West.
Russell Westbrook has kept up his remarkable pace all season long, leading the NBA in scoring with 31.8 points per game while averaging 10.6 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game as well.
In the last 17 games that these two teams have played in Oklahoma City, the Thunder hold a 14-3 SU and ATS edge per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Betting Line / Total: San Antonio -1 / 208.5 Points
Trend: The Thunder are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games.
Trend: The Spurs are 5-11 ATS in the month of March.
San Antonio Spurs
Just two nights after blowing away the Cleveland Cavaliers 103-74, the Spurs looked to be on their way to another blowout win after jumping out to a 23-3 win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. Instead, the Spurs had an uncharacteristic meltdown on defense, eventually falling to the Warriors 110-98 at home.
That loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Spurs and dropped the team’s ATS record to 5-11 in the month of March. San Antonio is 6-2 SU in its last eight games as a road favorite.
Friday’s total is set at 208.5 points. The UNDER is 10-4 in San Antonio’s last 14 trips to Oklahoma City.
Russell Westbrook had 27 points and 14 assists in his first game against San Antonio this season and 23 points and 13 rebounds in their meeting in March. Now 3.5 games behind Golden State for the top spot in the West with only eight games left in the season, the Spurs will need to decide how much emphasis they want to place on getting into top form and how much they want to rest down the stretch.
