🤔 Thunder vs. Spurs Expert Predictions for Game 3, 5/22
The Thunder won Game 2 the way everyone expected them to eventually win a game in this series - through sheer depth and firepower. Their bench outscored San Antonio's 57-25, and they built a 27-10 advantage in points off turnovers, which has been the most exploitable weakness for the Spurs all series long. SGA was his usual dominant self once he got going to help us cash our Thunder vs. Spurs predictions on his points prop (over 27.5).
However, the injury situation clouds the picture considerably heading into Game 3. San Antonio played the second half of Game 2 without Dylan Harper, and De’Aaron Fox continues to manage his ankle. Of course, we also have to note the Jalen Williams injury for OKC. For our NBA expert picks, the central question of Friday night is which version of the Spurs shows up - the one that was fully healthy and made OKC look mortal in Game 1 or the banged-up squad that couldn't sustain the comeback in Game 2.
History says the home team matters enormously in a tied series, and the AT&T Center is one of the loudest buildings in Texas. The Spurs went 5-1 against OKC this season, and Wembanyama has been unstoppable at both ends regardless of which game it is. Our Thunder vs. Spurs predictions see this as a genuine coin flip with massive implications for series momentum.
🏅 Thunder vs. Spurs Best Bet: Ajay Mitchell Over 7.5 Rebounds + Assists (+105 at Rebet)
We said that we cashed in with SGA’s point prop on Wednesday night, and for the series opener, we hit with a prop pick on Ajay Mitchell. While we know there will be plenty of Victor Wembanyama picks out there, we’re sticking with OKC. If they help win our Thunder vs. Spurs predictions, we aren’t going to fight against it.
We’re going right back to arguably the most under-the-radar player prop combo, which would be the combination of rebounds and assists. Points are always on the front of fans’ minds, and rightfully so, but this is where Mitchell has truly excelled. He should get back to doing so with the Jalen Williams issue.
This line has ticked up from the 6.5 when we cashed in with it, but we’re still comfortable taking it with our top Thunder vs. Spurs predictions. After all, Mitchell had 10 RA in both of his regular-season games against OKC this season. His playoff success has been just as strong, even if the latest box score may not demonstrate that.
He had 9 RA in the series opener after having 7+ in 3 of 4 games in the 2nd round and 7+ in ALL 4 of the 1st round matchups. An increase in volume should help us continue hitting our best Thunder vs. Spurs predictions with Ajay Mitchell over 7.5 rebounds+assists (+105 at Rebet).
