The San Antonio Spurs may be banged up, but they're still well coached and extremely hard to beat with Gregg Popovich on the bench. They gave the Warriors a big scare in a 110-107 loss at Golden State on Thursday and I think they'll keep it close enough here at Oklahoma City as well and at the very least cover the spread.

The Thunder are coming off a 115-87 win against Phoenix on Thursday but are only 5-13 ATS after a win of 10 points or more this season. They had suffered back-to-back losses to Golden State and Portland prior to that victory and it's more than a month since they last defeated a team with a winning record.

The Spurs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 while OKC is 2-5 ATS in its last seven home games and 5-11 ATS in its last 16 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

The two teams come into this contest in a virtual tie for the fifth spot in the Western Conference but just a couple games from falling out of the playoff picture entirely. Big game for both sides, and I expect a very tight contest where taking the points is the play.

My selection is a 10* play on San Antonio Spurs.
