Let’s also make sure that the first day of the season is as valuable as possible across the board; we’ll share how to make your Thunder vs. Spurs picks while claiming a GUARANTEED Courtside Sports promo code bonus!

🔥 Thunder vs. Spurs Predictions for NBA Opening Night, 10/20

Despite SGA and OKC following up their championship run with a nearly flawless first 30 games of last season, they had a kryptonite: San Antonio. Not only were Wemby and company the one team to truly test them, but they outright upset them in three straight meetings in a 12-day span! They were just cashing Thunder vs. Spurs predictions and NBA expert picks left and right.

The first of those wins was the NBA Cup semifinal, and along with a Christmas Day game, there was even more attention on those upsets. Of course, we can’t ignore the fact that this Western Conference Finals series was absolutely epic, going all seven games before San Antonio ended up losing to the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals.

Across the 12 meetings last season, OKC was just 4-8 against the spread, and as far as the over/under went, that was a rather even split at 7-5 to the over. There are plenty of player props to consider with our Thunder vs. Spurs predictions as well, but we’re going to keep things nice and simple with our best bet below!

🏅 Thunder vs. Spurs Expert Pick: Oklahoma City +2.5 (-115 at Courtside)

Well, given the trends we just shared above, we’re going a bit against the grain here. However, when it comes to SGA and OKC, they are still a team that has the ability to win by 20+ against any opponent. Speaking of which, in each of their Western Conference Finals wins, they cashed Thunder vs. Spurs predictions by winning by nine, 15, and 13 points.

We also have to remember that there were very few games during the regular season (and even playoffs) where OKC was actually fully healthy. Technically, they have a couple of guys like Cason Wallace and Chet Holmgren listed as day-to-day, but that isn’t even the case everywhere you look. So, along with a healthy Jalen Williams, it’s time to be vindicated.

Having just noted day-to-day guys, the newcomer in San Antonio is also in the same boat - Tobias Harris. That’s not one that greatly impacts our Thunder vs. Spurs predictions, and not only will we note that, but we’ll also note that Dylan Harper remains outside the starting five but can certainly impact this matchup.

Thankfully for OKC, they have great defensive play at positions one through five, even if he does come in with fresh legs. It’s not often (if ever besides vs. SA) that we’ll see SGA and company as an underdog. So, let’s take advantage of that with our best Thunder vs. Spurs predictions for NBA Opening Night and lock in Oklahoma City +2.5 (-115 at Courtside).
