Top Spurs vs. Thunder predictions
After studying Spurs vs. Thunder from every angle, Barner is leaning Over 217.5 total points. Game 1 produced 237 combined points -- albeit with the help of double overtime -- but then the teams hit a similar number in 48 minutes in Game 2. Four of seven games between these teams have cleared the total this season, and Thunder games have gone Over at a 57% clip this season.
"These teams combined to score 235 points in Game 2," Barner told SportsLine. "That was with Fox out and Williams only playing seven minutes. Ajay Mitchell has thrived whenever Williams has been sidelined, so he can help keep the Thunder's offense rolling. Role players tend to perform better at home, so that should help the Spurs' bench if Fox and/or Harper are out. There are enough efficient scorers on both sides to make this Over appealing."
