Spurs vs. Thunder Game 7 Picks
Game 6 was an eye-opening one in this series. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander really struggled for the Thunder, shooting 6 for 18 from the floor and 0 for 5 from deep in a game in which he had only 15 points in 28 minutes. Gilgeous-Alexander looked extremely fatigued, which probably has a lot to do with him not having much help right now. With Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell out, all of the shot creation is being put on the reigning MVP’s shoulders. Unfortunately, those shoulders look tired. And once again, Williams will be out for Oklahoma City, as the team announced he’d miss this game after his 10 unproductive minutes in Game 5.
In addition to Gilgeous-Alexander looking lousy, San Antonio’s guards looked awesome. Dylan Harper was unstoppable off the bench, Stephon Castle continued to play tremendous two-way basketball, and De’Aaron Fox contributed as well. With the Spurs backcourt outplaying the Thunder backcourt, it just truly felt like we were watching a San Antonio team that was flat-out better than Oklahoma City. Victor Wembanyama was the best player on the floor, Gilgeous-Alexander couldn’t edge out the Spurs guards, and San Antonio’s bench stepped up.
Heading into this win-or-go-home Game 7, there’s just a lot that needs to change for the Thunder. Gilgeous-Alexander has to perform like an MVP again, Chet Holmgren needs to make an impact as a shot-maker, and several other Oklahoma City players will need to show up ready to play. Well, for San Antonio, it feels like there’s less uncertainty.
Realistically, the only thing the Thunder have going for them is the fact that this game will be played at home. Playing in front of the insane fans at the Paycom Center could ultimately mask a few things. We could also see OKC role players looking more comfortable, while some of San Antonio’s could be nervous. The Spurs have also been a little shaky as road underdogs of 6 or fewer points under Mitch Johnson, going 5-6 straight-up in those games. They’re also going up against a Thunder team that is 2-0 both SU and against the spread in Game 7s under Mark Daigneault. On top of that, Oklahoma City is 7-3 SU in closeout games under Daigneault, and the team is also 94-32 SU when favored by 3.5 to 9.5 points with him on the sidelines.
With all of that in mind, I do have a slight lean on San Antonio in this game. I also think it’s going to be somewhat low scoring, as these are two top-three defensive teams. Game 7s also tend to skew lower in scoring, and these teams have been getting more and more physical with one another. The issue is that I do have a big future on Oklahoma City to win the NBA Finals, and I put that in before the start of this series. So, I’m not exactly looking to add anything here. I’m just hoping for the best with the home team.
If I was going with a side or a total, I’d actually go with a side and a total together. I’d also be looking for some extra cushion. That said, if you have the option to do so, I’d look into grabbing San Antonio +10.5 and Under 222.5 together. That’s available at only -115 at BetMGM, and I think it’s a really interesting way to attack this game. However, for me, it’ll be player props only.
One prop that I put in early was Fox Over 5.5 assists at -105. Fox has had at least six assists in four of the last five games. He’s also averaging 6.5 assists per game in this series. Harper and Castle have both been great for the Spurs all year, but Fox still has a big role. And in a Game 7, I can’t see Fox being anything but heavily relied on. He’s the most experienced ball handler on this team. That’s not to say that Harper and Castle won’t be ready for the moment, but Fox should have a sense of calm that will be important to San Antonio here.
Another play I’m taking is Cason Wallace to go Over 15.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists (PRA). At -106, it’s just hard not to like Wallace to fill up the stat sheet in a game in which Oklahoma City will be without two rotational guards. Wallace is averaging 15.8 PRA per game in this series, and he’s also averaging 16.7 PRA in the three home games. Wallace just should be able to knock down some open triples, there could be some shots for him at the rim, and he’s always capable of chipping in with rebounds and assists. Jared McCain definitely gives Oklahoma City the best scoring punch at the two, while Alex Caruso is the best defender at the position. But Wallace offers the best combination of both, and Daigneault should trust in his two-way ability.
The final prop I like is Isaiah Hartenstein to go Over his PRA total of 19.5 at -102. Since looking miserable in Game 1, Hartenstein is averaging 22.8 PRA per game over the last five games. He has also gone Over 19.5 PRA in seven of the last 10 postseason games. Hartenstein isn’t anything special on offense, but he can finish plays, make his awkward-looking push shot, and rack up assists. He’s also capable of going for 10 rebounds whenever he’s out there. Hartenstein simply should be able to make an impact in this game, and that’ll be especially true if Holmgren doesn’t have it going. Daigneault might prefer Hartenstein’s size, strength, and motor if Holmgren isn’t making San Antonio fear him as a scorer.
Bet: Fox Over 5.5 Assists (-105)
Bet: Wallace Over 15.5 PRA (-106)
Bet: Hartenstein Over 19.5 PRA (-102)
