Tuesday NBA sees the Oklahoma City Thunder visiting the San Antonio Spurs.
So far this season, the Thunder have exceeded expectations. Russell Westbrook has been a walking triple-double and he not only has OKC in the playoff picture, he has them fighting for a top-four seed and home-court advantage.
San Antonio, on the other hand, is right where it’s supposed to be, yet nobody is talking about them.
That’s true Spurs fashion, though, as they wouldn’t have it any other way in their pursuit for a Western Conference championship.
San Antonio opened up as nine-point home favorites and that’s where they remain about 24 hours ahead of tipoff.
*All statistics, rankings, standings and records are accurate as of this writing at 6:30 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 30.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder enter this contest averaging 106 points per game. That number is good enough for 14th in the league.
Defensively, this group is allowing opponents to score 105.2 points per contest. That number is good enough for 17th in the NBA.

Against San Antonio, Westbrook should have no trouble getting his numbers. The Spurs have difficulty defending point guards, which should lead to a ton of success and a likely triple-double for OKC’s lead man.
Here’s the catch: The Spurs have arguably the best defender in the game in Kawhi Leonard to put on Westbrook, should they choose.
If the Spurs choose to lock down Russ with Kawhi, the script could flip.

San Antonio Spurs
As much potential as Westbrook has to hurt these Spurs, odds are we’re not going to see Leonard defending him one-on-one.
At least, not for large stretches or the majority of the contest.
San Antonio will likely implement a strategy that allows Westbrook to get his numbers while containing OKC’s role players. The Thunder are already short one role player in Enes Kanter, who broke his forearm after punching a chair during a timeout last week.
Westbrook will do what he can to get his guys involved, but he’ll take on primary scoring responsibilities as he usually does.
The Spurs will use a team defense to avoid letting guys like Victor Oladipo get hot.

Free Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
Both the Thunder and the Spurs have played well against the spread as of late.
But there’s only one team we trust in this one.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: San Antonio -9
Picking a Thunder team that has excelled well and has Westbrook doing Oscar Robertson things out there to lose by more than nine seems risky, and it probably is.
But without Kanter, this group loses a primary low-post scorer.
San Antonio is a top-10 team on both offense and defense, and it’s going to be too much for a shorthanded, superstar-driven roster to handle on the road.
