Thunder vs. Spurs Odds & Betting Predictions - May 23, 2026

This is 12.5 everywhere else in the market, which is fine but I'd prefer to play this 11.5 even with a little bit more juice would play to -145 The key here for me is that I wouldn't expect to see Jdub for potentially the rest of the series and I think that that opens up things for the bench unit. I'm unsure if Fox plays for the Spurs tonight and the same goes for Dylan Harper. With that being said, you don't need as much point of attack defense, which is really what Dort is exceptional at and as a result, l think you can limit his minutes a little bit more and spread it around to guys like Caruso or Wallace or McCain. Wallace gives you a little bit more offensively because he's not just a three-point shooter that doesn't necessarily space the floor like Dort because even though Dort primarily takes threes, other teams are allowing him to take that shot and if they aren't, he's not really capable of creating for himself off the dribble. This is something that all three of Caruso Wallace and McCain can do. Wallace gives you a little bit more defense than McCain and we saw him play solid minutes in both games one and two as it is. Here, I think it's a good opportunity to back him as another defensive anchor.
