<p>The San Antonio Spurs have enjoyed this matchup over the last four matches, having won the first three and being the one team the Thunder have had trouble with in this campaign.</p> <p>However, a 119-98 victory at home for Oklahoma set them straight last month and they'll be aiming to accomplish something similar once again in Texas.</p> <p>Read on for our Spurs vs Thunder betting predictions…</p> <h2>Quick Picks</h2> <p><strong>Our pick</strong>: OKC to win</p> <p><strong>Value bet</strong>: OKC to win by 1-10 points and cover handicap spread</p> <p><strong>Long shot</strong>: SGA to have 30+ points; Wembanyama to have 25+</p> <h2>Betting Preview</h2> <p>It's worth taking a look at the head-to-head over this season's matches, as this can provide some insight into what bets may be reasonable to make for this upcoming clash:</p> <ul> <li>Jan 2026: OKC 119-98 Spurs</li> <li>Dec 2025: OKC 102-117 Spurs</li> <li>Dec 2025: Spurs 130-110 OKC</li> <li>Dec 2025: OKC 109-111 Spurs</li> </ul> <p>Aside from the first meeting of the campaign, the three that have followed haven't really been all that close. Spurs dominated the Thunder in their two victories, while OKC made sure to get a win on the board in their previous home fixture with a large margin.</p> <h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2> <p>The handicap market in this one could be worth exploring, as we think it is likely to be a closer affair than those that have happened previously. We think it is more likely to see a scoreline as close as the one in the first matchup, where the Spurs won by 2 points.</p> <p>Player props are worth exploring in this one, too. With stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama set to be on the court, both have excelled this season and are in the discussion to be named the MVP this season. Check out the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba-player-awards">NBA MVP odds</a> to see where they stand.</p> <p>SGA to have 30+ points offers value as he has been averaging 32 per game this season, while Wembanayma to have 25+ also has value. He scored 25 against the Orlando Magic in his last game and has averaged 24 per game this season.</p> <h2>Our Prediction</h2> <p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba">NBA betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p> <p>We think that there is value in an OKC win. They will be without Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein, but they have been the strongest team in the NBA this season. They hold a recent victory over the Spurs, who will be without Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan.</p> <p>As noted, we think the handicap market will offer value if OKC are favoured by between four and six points. As an extension, we think OKC to win by 1-10 points offers additional value.
