San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA) - Mar 16, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
Play: Total: 187/-103 Under

Take San Antonio Under 187,

The Spurs are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA with opponents averaging 93.4 ppg against them this season and just 89.8 ppg over their last 5 games. The last time these teams played back in December the final total was 213 but both teams shot over 51% from the field and that will simply not happen tonight because this Spurs team has improved a lot defensively since that game. The total average score for the Thunder in their last 3 home games was just 172.3 ppg and that was against Dallas, Washington and Philadelphia who are not as good defensively as the Spurs. The Spurs just held a good Houston team to 85 points in their last road game and the O/U is 1-8 for the Thunder in their last 9 games as a home dog of +3.5 to +6.0 points. The O/U is 0-6 for the Thunder in their last 6 home games against a team that has a road winning record above .600 and the O/U is 0-6 for the Spurs in their last 6 road games against a team with a home winning record below .400. The O/U is 2-9 for the Spurs in their last 11 road games against a team with a losing record and the O/U is 3-9 for the Spurs in their last 12 road games as a favorite of -5.0 to -10.5 points. Take the Under as my NBA Free Play for Monday night.
