Thunder vs Spurs Prediction
The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 60-22 record overall which had them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court too with their 32-8 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Thunder have looked great in their games this season with their 64-18 record overall which had them right at the top of the West with the best record in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 30-10 road record this year. This is game 4 of a 7-game series between the 1st seeded Thunder and the 2nd seeded Spurs for the Western Conference Finals of the NBA playoffs. The Thunder are entering this game with a 2-1 series lead after winning game 3 by a score of 123-108. The Spurs went on the road in game 1 pulling off the upset win and it looked like they were going to give the Thunder a challenge in this series like they have all season. The Thunder answered back in game 2 though with a win and now they have retaken control of the series by getting that road game back in game 3. The Spurs gave the Thunder a lot of trouble all season, but the Spurs still don't have that playoff experience to lean on like the Thunder have and it is starting to show. The Spurs will be looking to bounce back in this one, but the Thunder have been really good as an underdog all year and they are the defending champs for a reason. The Thunder are going to show why they are still the team to beat here and they have all of the momentum on their side now with 2 wins in a row, going 9-1 in their last 10 games too, so look for them to continue rolling and make a statement in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“Other than the first 15 points, our defense was really tight. We got back, settled down into the halfcourt. Our offense had something to do with that. We ran good offense tonight, despite the fact that they were amped up and ready to go, the Spurs were. It’s a discipline series. We did that. We couldn’t be reckless against them, they are too good with the ball, too well coached, too talented. So you’ve got to be able to do it with discipline. I thought we really were disciplined tonight.” - Mark Daigneault after his team’s win against the Spurs in the 3rd game of this series on Friday.
“It’s my first playoffs. It’s the first playoffs for many of us. Of course, there was going to be hard trials. It’s to be expected, but now we’re going to see what we’re made of.” - Victor Wembanyama after their loss against the OKC Thunder in game 3 of this series on Friday.
