The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 6.5 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 been a great road team too with their 29-12 road record this year. 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 looked great on their home court too with their 34-7 home record this season. This is game 2 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 Spurs are entering this game with a 1-0 series lead after winning game 1 by a score of 122-115. The Thunder swept the Suns and the Lakers in the last 2 rounds and they have been rolling lately, going 8-2 in their last 10 games, but they finally found their first challenge of the playoffs. The Spurs have been one of the best teams in the NBA all season and they showed why they can be a threat to the Thunder in game 1. The Spurs have been going toe-to-toe with the Thunder all season too, so this is nothing new for the Spurs to rip off a road win in the series opener. The Thunder did get Williams back in that game who has missed most of the playoffs and they will be looking to bounce back in this one, but this is the 1 team that they have had a lot of trouble with all year and they aren't just going to take over this game. The Spurs have the talent to win this game on the road again and they aren't going to get blown out in a loss. Look for the Spurs to once again keep this a tight game with the momentum on their side now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.
