The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs collide at the AT&T Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Thunder vs Spurs Prediction.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in red-hot form as they’ve won nine of their last 11 games overall and they will be looking to build on their current six-game win streak after routing the Rockets in a 112-95 home win on Tuesday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 31 points and eight rebounds, Jalen Williams added 24 points with five assists on 11 of 17 shooting while Chet Holmgren chipped in with 18 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. As a team, the Thunder shot 47 percent from the field and 10 of 27 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with a 21-4 run in the second quarter, before they ran away with it in the fourth quarter to make it a blowout. The Thunder will face the Suns and Lakers after this game.
San Antonio Spurs
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in a terrible slump as they’ve lost 12 of their last 13 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a five-game slide after getting beaten by the Timberwolves in a 114-105 road defeat on Tuesday. Devin Vassell led the team with 21 points and six assists on nine of 18 shooting, Keldon Johnson added 20 points off the bench while Victor Wembenyama tallied 17 points with 13 rebounds, five assists and four blocks. As a team, the Spurs shot 47 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Timberwolves from the start, falling behind by as many as 24 points before they poured in 38 points in the fourth quarter to keep the margin within single digits in the end.

Thunder vs Spurs Prediction
The Thunder are currently one of the hottest teams in the league and they are coming into this one aiming for a seventh straight win after blowing out the Rockets twice in a row. In contrast, the Spurs have been the coldest team in the league with just one win in their past 13 outings and they have so little to play for at this stage of the season. The line is hefty, but the Thunder are red-hot at the moment and I think they should be able to cruise in this one.
