The model sees the Spurs as better than the market is pricing them. San Antonio scores 118.6 points per game and gives up 110.7, while OKC scores 119.0 and allows 107.3. That spread lean comes in at 3.9 points, giving you a 2.3 percent edge against the posted line of 3.5. The injury situation tilts toward San Antonio as well. OKC is missing Ajay Mitchell and the net injury edge sits at 2.5 points in favor of the Spurs. The matchup data shows SAS offense ranked fourth against OKC defense ranked second, while OKC offense sits third against San Antonio defense ranked sixth. Head to head this season OKC has taken three of four, but the average margin was just 4.3 points. San Antonio covers 58 percent of its home games. The model spread actually sits at 2.6 points with 70 percent of books at 3.5 and 30 percent closer to 0.6, so the lean to lay the 3.5 is justified.

Most casual bettors are seeing OKC as the better team and assuming they cover on the road. They are overlooking the injury to Ajay Mitchell and the fact that San Antonio offense is actually elite against this specific defense.
