Thunder vs Spurs predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 110, San Antonio 104
OKC’s hopes of winning an NBA Cup title were snatched away by San Antonio in the semifinals. That also snapped the Thunder’s franchise-record winning streak of 16 games. To say OKC will be motivated entering Tuesday’s rematch is an understatement, and it’ll be close to full strength after sitting multiple guys against Memphis on Monday. I expect Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to look like the reigning MVP after making some uncharacteristic mistakes in the first meeting with San Antonio, and his supporting cast of shooters should provide better floor spacing this time around. Give me the Thunder on the road.
