Thunder vs. Spurs Game 4 Odds
Game Preview
OKC was down 15-0 points early, but the bench players responded when the top stars stayed silent. Eventually, the “replacements” scored 76 points, the most in Thunder playoff history.
Jared McCain had the game of his life with 24 points, while Jaylen Williams added 18. Alex Caruso scored 15, and Cason Wallace added 11. Shai had 26 buckets and 12 assists.
As for the Spurs, after a furious start, their momentum was slowly fading. The reason? Their bench, which delivered just 23 points.

Thunder vs. Spurs Game 4 Predictions
The total for this matchup is 217.5 points, and we are betting on UNDER here. Why? The reason is that it’s a key game of the series. If the Thunder wins, it’s more or less over. If the Spurs take it, we are back at the beginning. So the hosts will have to be much more aggressive and oriented towards harder and more physical defense.
Free NBA Pick: Under 217.5 points
