Jeez, Chet. Don’t let them take your lunch money.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren was already having a tough go against the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference finals before Devin Vassell emphatically swatted away a routine dunk by OKC’s 7-footer in Thursday’s ugly road loss.

Vassell piled on the dejected Holmgren with two scoops of trash talk as the crowd inside the Frost Bank Center exploded. While that humiliation of Holmgren makes the rounds on social media, my Spurs vs. Thunder predictions won’t count out the talented big man, who needs a long look in the mirror ahead of Game 7.

Our NBA picks like Holmgren to show up, or at least surpass the blowout-suppressed odds’ expectations, as Oklahoma City is a 3.5-point home favorite on Saturday, May 30.

Not bad for the Oklahoma City Thunder power forward… but not enough.

Passive play and limited minutes in recent blowouts are stunting his scoring.

With squashes in the last four games vs. the San Antonio Spurs, Holmgren’s minutes go from an average of 15 in the 1H to 11.9 in the 2H, including a piddly four minutes in the 4Q. His usage drops with it.
