OK here are the facts regarding San Antonio at home. The Spurs have won 40 in a row at AT&T Center, including 31 games this season. San Antonio has covered 67 percent of its last 43 home contests.
The Spurs are not a team I usually care to buck - especially at home. So it takes a special point spread - like this one - to get me involved in fading San Antonio.
No, Oklahoma City isn't in San Antonio and Golden State's class. But the Thunder are at that very next level. Their cast of stars can match any team. There may not be a better talent tandem than Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Only three times in their last 31 games have the Thunder lost by more than eight points.They beat the Spurs by six points at home in their lone meeting against them this season.
The Thunder and Spurs are just two of six teams that have won 65 percent or more of their games. The Spurs are 2-5 SU, 1-6 ATS when playing those elite teams. Their lone cover came by one-half point. The Spurs have proved they can crush inferior opponents. They have to prove they can cover a big number like this against a blue chip foe.
