Who will take the lead in Game 5?
Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals is coming up, and we have a tip for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs matchup. The hosts won the last matchup and evened the series with that victory.
After two previous losses, the Texans showed significant improvement, particularly on the defensive end. As a result, the defending champions managed only 82 points—the second-lowest total in the franchise’s postseason history.
Given this, for Game 5 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs, we’re predicting that the visitors won’t lose by more than five points. Furthermore, we expect another strong performance from Victor Wembanyama.
The Frenchman led the way with 33 points in the last game and once again lived up to his role as the Spurs’ leader in the series. He is averaging 30.3 points in the series, and his 53 rebounds over four games are equally impressive.
Against this backdrop, we believe the odds on “Wemby” scoring more than 25.5 points in the matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs are equally attractive.
Oklahoma City Thunder – San Antonio Spurs Head-to-Head Record
The current series between OKC and San Antonio stands at 2-2. However, San Antonio has not fared well on the road against Oklahoma for quite some time. Only two of the past ten away games at the Paycom Center ended in a win for the basketball team from the “Lone Star State.”
For the upcoming matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs, the betting odds once again point toward a home victory.
Oklahoma City Thunder – San Antonio Spurs Tip
OKC coach Mark Daigneault must now realign his offense following the Spurs’ successful defensive adjustments. The two-time NBA champions scored just 82 points in the last game of the Western Conference Finals. On the other hand, the visitors are fundamentally strong defensively.
In fact, they have held their opponents to single-digit scoring in one-third of their last nine games in the 2026 NBA Playoffs. We therefore expect a close game and are picking the Texans to lose by no more than 5.5 points in the upcoming matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs.
