If Game 2 of the Western Conference finals is anything like the series opener, NBA bettors should probably go ahead and book tomorrow off.
The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder put in a double OT classic on Monday, and run it back in OKC tonight. My same-game parlay for Game 2 calls for OKC to even the series on the back of MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander but also respects Victor Wembanyama’s defensive impact at the rim.
Here are my best NBA picks and SGP predictions for Spurs vs. Thunder tonight.
Our best Spurs vs Thunder SGP for Game 2SGP leg #1: Thunder moneylineThe Oklahoma City Thunder still forced overtime against the San Antonio Spurs despite a dismal opening half in Game 1. The Thunder rallied behind a more aggressive offense, and I see OKC finding that gear earlier in Game 2. OKC is a strong bounce-back team, going 8-0 SU off a playoff loss the past two postseasons.
SGP leg #2: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 28.5 pointsShai Gilgeous-Alexander was passive in the opening half of Game 1. In previous series, SGA could rely on his teammates to carry the offensive weight when teams clamped down on the MVP. However, he quickly realized he would need to set the tone in the second half. We saw more attacks from Gilgeous-Alexander, and that approach will get him Over his scoring prop tonight. Models call for closer to 30 points in Game 2.
SGP leg #3: Victor Wembanyama Over 3.5 blocksVictor Wembanyama is always a threat to swat your shot into the fifth row. He didn’t have a single block in the first half of Game 1, but once OKC started attacking the interior, he quickly sent back three shots in the second half and overtime. Wemby will patrol the paint with the Thunder not shying away from the Spurs’ 7-footer, providing ample block opportunities in Game 2.
