San Antonio enters the Western Conference finals as a +210 series underdog and +1.5 games at -110 against defending champion Oklahoma City, which is favored at -260.
Geoff Clark backs the Spurs because they went 37-3 since Feb. 1 when Victor Wembanyama played at least 15 minutes, and he recommends putting most of the stake on Spurs +1.5 games.
Oklahoma City still brings major momentum into Game 1 Monday after sweeping Phoenix and the Lakers, with All-Star wing Jalen Williams returning from a six-game injury absence.
San Antonio's case rests on matchup advantages: Wembanyama's rim protection, long perimeter defenders against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's best defensive free-throw rate, and a top-five offensive turnover rate.
The series sets up as a test of Oklahoma City's championship continuity against a Spurs team that beat the Thunder repeatedly in the regular season and NBA Cup.
Can MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander solve the riddle of Victor Wembanyama, the league's new Defensive Player of the Year?
The Thunder are undefeated in the playoffs, so why did the Spurs dominate their regular season matchups 4-1?
