The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs link up on ESPN for a Midwest showdown between two of the youngest teams in the league.

The Thunder are 3-0 with wins over Denver (112-87), Chicago (114-95), and Atlanta (128-104). Oklahoma City hasn’t played in a close game yet and oddsmakers don’t think this will be a close contest either. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off a near triple-double of 35 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists against the Hawks.

San Antonio is 1-2 and almost pulled out a comeback win against Houston (106-101) in the previous outing. Victor Wembanyama had an impressive all-around game against Houston setting early season-highs in rebounds (20), assists (5), and blocks (4). The Spurs will look to ride the young superstar when he takes on Chet Holgrem and the Thunder.

With that said, let’s dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Oklahoma City’s Team Total Over 117.5 against the Spurs with a sprinkle on the Spurs 1H ML:

“If we’re talking half-unit or sprinkles, I can get down with the Spurs 1H ML at Oklahoma City. While the Thunder are -13 home favorites, they have not been tested yet and Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs are hungry.

San Antonio led Dallas and Houston at halftime of their first two games before trailing in the previous outing to the Rockets. However, last season, Oklahoma City won three meetings against San Antonio by 26, 38, and 36 points, but lost one by 14 and trailed at the half.

We will know by halftime how competitive this game is, but either way, the Thunder are going to score plenty of points. OKC scored 123, 140, 132, and 127 points in four meetings with the Spurs last season. I think OKC goes for 120-plus points on the Spurs again, so give me the Thunder Team Total Over 117.5 and I would sprinkle the Spurs 1H ML for fun.”
