The San Antonio Spurs are a team searching for answers entering the All-Star break. Despite getting offers to blow up the core, San Antonio stayed put and gave the pairing of DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge one more shot at proving themselves as leaders of the team. But as days pass by, it all becomes evident that it’s time for the once great franchise to push the reset button and move onto the next chapter.

Online Bookmakers are inch by inch giving up on the Spurs this season after they witnessed a string of losses that never occurred since the second year of Gregg Popovich’s tenure in San Antonio. Moreover, the Thunder warrants a -6.5 point spread since they have been wreaking some havoc in the last 10 games with an 8-2 record.

Moneyline: Pick the Thunder at -290. Expect OKC to capitalize on the Spurs’ sagging defense that allowed their last three opponents to score 120 points and more.

ATS: Back the Thunder to cover the spread. OKC is 1-2 in ATS betting in their last three assignments but both ATS losses required them to cover a spread of 13 or more points. I think 6.5 points is a manageable spread to take care of.

TOTALs: Bet on the OVER at 220 points, The Spurs and the Thunder combined for just 212 points in their last game last January. OKC is also scoring between 108 to 111 points in their last four but reaching 120 points is doable against San Antonio’s defense.

Score Prediction: 121 – 108 Thunder
