Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs prediction

The San Antonio Spurs continue to stink up the joint defensively, and they're not winning games. The Spurs are also underdogs nightly but 28-31 ATS on the season. Meanwhile, the Thunder have been our cash cows all year with their 37-21 ATS record. Only the Magic have covered more games this season than the Thunder. When the Thunder and Spurs met last month, OKC scored 140 points. The line is massive for a reason, and there's little reason to even consider the Spurs. Give me the Thunder in a blowout road win.
