Bet Thunder -12.5: With Oklahoma City’s solid start and the home advantage, betting them to cover the -12.5 spread aligns well with their current form and consistency.

Bet Under 221.5: Both teams are skewing toward the Under due to defensive play and the potential for a slower pace as San Antonio’s young core develops and OKC methodically wears down their opponents.
