Spurs vs. Thunder predictions: Odds, recent stats, trends and best bets for January 13

The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder (33-7) have lost just seven times in 40 games this season. As impressive as their start has been it might be even more impressive that the San Antonio Spurs (27-12) have beaten them three times. Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs look to improve to 4-0 this season against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder tonight in Oklahoma City on NBC and Peacock.

After “sputtering” in late December and earlier this month, the Thunder have won their last three. Truth be told, they have only struggled in stretches surrounding games against the Spurs. They are 9-6 in their last 15 games but three of those losses were to San Antonio. It feels worse than it actually is for the Thunder because they started the season winning 24 of their first 25 games.
