The Western Conference finals have not disappointed, with the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> and San Antonio Spurs<\/a> giving NBA bettors thrilling finishes as the series swings to Texas for Game 3.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep the blood pumping, and the best way to do so is with some Thunder vs. Spurs predictions<\/a>.
\u00a0
Despite injury concerns, I like San Antonio<\/a> to show up at home on the slender shoulders of Victor Wembanyama<\/a>. But don\u2019t discount this other 7-footer on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Here are my best\u00a0NBA picks<\/a> and SGP predictions for Thunder vs. Spurs on Friday, May 22.<\/p>\n

Our best Thunder vs Spurs SGP for Game 3SGP leg #1: Spurs moneyline<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Spurs<\/a> left OKC with a split and now control home court in the Western Conference finals. Injuries to the backcourt are under the microscope, with De\u2019Aaron Fox<\/a> and Dylan Harper<\/a> questionable but the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> will likely be without star Jalen Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

San Antonio had a rotten outing in Game 2 yet still hung around. If the Spurs can clean up the turnovers, they\u2019ll take the win in Game 3. San Antonio is tough at home, especially when coming off a loss, going 13-2 SU in those scenarios.<\/p>\n

SGP leg #2: Victor Wembanyama Over 25.5 points<\/p>\n

Victor Wembanyama<\/a> got worn down by physical defense from OKC center Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a> in Game 2 and got to the foul line only twice despite a lot of questionable contact. Wemby was passive and didn\u2019t attack the interior like he did in Game 1.<\/p>\n

Getting some rest and playing at home resets the Spurs\u2019 7-footer, whose projections call for as many as 27+ points. And if Fox and\/or Harper sit out, Wembanyama carries even more of the scoring load.<\/p>\n

SGP leg #3: Chet Holmgren<\/a> Over 1.5 threes<\/p>\n

With Williams likely sidelined with a nagging hamstring injury, the Thunder need their 7-footer to snap out of it. Chet Holmgren<\/a> hasn\u2019t had great success against the Spurs all season and has been quiet in two WCF games, seeing his minutes shrink in Game 2.<\/p>\n

Holmgren\u2019s outside shooting is especially important to OKC, allowing it to stretch the San Antonio defense and pull Wembanyama away from the rim. Chet knocked down two triples in Game 1 and gets his looks from long range on Friday night.<\/p>\n
