The two teams played in a humdinger of a contest in Game 1, forcing a double overtime period to settle a winner.

Now, OKC will look to try and rectify things in Game 2 when they meet on Thursday, May 21 (10:30 AEST).

Quick Picks

Our pick: OKC to win

Value bet: Wembanyama to have 16+ Rebounds

Long shot: Hartenstein To Record 8+ Rebounds

Betting Preview

A truly incredible game took place on Tuesday, with the two teams matching each other several times throughout.

Game 1 would eventually go to the Spurs, who won 122-115 in double overtime, using the second period to win by seven. At the end of the first quarter, the game was tied at 27-27. Spurs would take the lead by the half with a seven-point advantage, and keep that gap as they entered the fourth.

OKC would score seven more points than their rivals to force overtime, with the first period seeing both teams score seven more points.

Alex Caruso was the unlikely star for OKC, as he had 31 points, with Jalen Williams and back-to-back MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 26 and 24 points, respectively.

However, the main man was the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama. He had an impressive 41 points in the game, as well as 24 rebounds. Dylan Harper would score 24 points (11 rebounds) with Stephon Castle adding 17 points.

Betting Markets to Watch

The Thunder are considered the early betting favourites in the market, as they’ve shown great bounce-back ability. After a loss, they’ve won each of their last eight playoff games.

The Spurs won’t make it easy, as they’ve won their last three straight, but OKC don’t typically lose all that often when playing at home.

They lost just seven games in the regular season (34-7), and had won each of the home games played in the playoffs up until Tuesday’s epic.

If you like the Spurs, their handicap has some value. The line is +6.5, which they have covered in each of their last four games as underdogs.

Player props can offer significant value in a game full of stars. Victor Wembanyama To Record 16+ Rebounds has value, as he has recorded 16+ rebounds in each of his last three appearances with the Spurs as underdogs.

At the same time, Dylan Harper To Score 15+ Points also has value, as he has scored 15+ points in each of the Spurs' last three road games.
