Thunder vs Spurs – 1/10/19 NBA Pick, Odds, and Predictions
Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs NBA Basketball Thursday, Jan 10, 2019 (9:35pm est) Current Odds: Oklahoma City -1.5, Total Points 224

San Antonio has been on top of its game of late, but it threw in a real clunker on Wednesday in a 96-86 road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The Spurs scored just 31 points in the first half, tying their season low for a half, made a season-worst 30 shots and recorded a season-low 14 assists in the defeat.
Marco Belinelli and Bryn Forbes led the Spurs with 14 points each. LaMarcus Aldridge and Patty Mills scored 13 apiece. Derrick White hit for 12 for the San Antonio, which also got 12 rebounds from Pau Gasol in the loss.
San Antonio played without forward Rudy Gay, who missed his second consecutive game with a wrist injury. Gay is not expected to play on Thursday. The Spurs are 1-6 in the second game of back-to-backs this season.
Despite the setback to Grizzlies, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich knows he has a mature group that is beginning to jell.
“Our guys have been really good about figuring out how we want to play,” Popovich said prior to the Wednesday game. “The chemistry has been good. Slowly they are feeling responsible to each other and how each other fits on the court. We’ve gotten better as the year has progressed.”
The Spurs have won 13 of their past 17 games overall, but they are just 7-13 on the road after the defeat at Memphis.
“We’ll have those nights where we look horrible, but they stuck together — which is a real testament to their character,” Popovich said. “They just continue to figure it out.”
The Spurs own a 92-75 all-time advantage over Oklahoma City, including a 61-23 edge (including a six-game win streak) in games played in San Antonio.
