Spurs vs. Thunder Prediction, Spread, Total

Entering Tuesday’s contest, Oklahoma City holds a 5.5-game advantage over San Antonio for the number-one seed.

Despite the Thunder's stellar season, the young Spurs have had their number, with San Antonio winning the first three meetings between the two teams, two of which were by double figures.

It’s an impressive feat considering that the Thunder possess an NBA-best 118.0 offensive rating, per NBA.com. Oklahoma City also averages 121.4 points per game (second in the NBA), while shooting 48.9% from the field, good for third in the Association.

As has been the case in recent years, the Thunder are paced by G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who could be en route to his second consecutive MVP award in 2025-26 with averages of 31.9 PPG, 6.4 APG, and 4.5 RPG.

The Spurs have gotten back on track lately since C Victor Wembanyama returned to the lineup following a minor knee injury.

Wemby is a savant on the offensive end, thanks to his ability to impact the game in multiple ways. However, his defensive acumen looms large whenever he’s within earshot of the rim. In fact, Wembanyama registered 8 blocks and 6 steals over his last four games.

According to NBA.com, the Spurs boast a 111.2 defensive rating, ranking third in the league behind only the Thunder and Pistons.

On the injury front, the Thunder will be without C Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) for Tuesday’s game, while the Spurs won’t have the services of G Devin Vassell as he recovers from a groin injury.
