The OKC may have dominated for a large part of the campaign, but when it comes to the Spurs, they've struggled.</p> <p>In the three games played so far, the following results have occurred:</p> <ul> <li>14 Dec: OKC 109-111 Spurs</li> <li>24 Dec: Spurs 130-110 OKC</li> <li>26 Dec: OKC 102-117 Spurs</li> </ul> <p><strong>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander</strong> produced slightly below point numbers (29, 22, 33) across those games, while <strong>Victor Wembanyama</strong> played starring roles from the bench (22, 19, 12) following injury. Both players are among the frontrunners in the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba-player-awards">NBA MVP betting</a> this season.</p> <p>Elsewhere, the game between the<strong> Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers</strong> could be interesting from a betting POV. The last three between these two have ended in favour of Portland, including one at GSW's home.</p> <p>The<strong> New Orleans Pelicans and Denver Nuggets</strong> offer potential value, as Denver have had their troubles recently, including big injury issues (<strong>Nikola Jokic</strong>, etc.). Still, you'd expect them to overcome the Pelicans, given New Orleans' own issues on the court this season.</p> <h2>NBA 14 January 2026 Betting Predictions</h2> <p>We have all of the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba">latest NBA betting odds</a> available at Sportsbet for Wednesday's games.</p> <p>Let's take a look at some of our top picks…</p> <ul> <li><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs</strong> - We<strong> predict OKC will win</strong> and end their nightmare spell against the Spurs.<strong> SGA for 25+ points and Wembanyama 20+ points</strong> are our top picks.</li> <li><strong>Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers</strong> - Portland have been the better team and have a good recent H2H over GSW.<strong> We think Portland will win</strong>.</li> <li><strong>New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets</strong> - We<strong> predict Denver to win</strong>, despite struggling against poor teams this year.
