The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs meet on ESPN for a Midwest showdown between two of the league's youngest teams.

The Thunder are 3-0 with wins over Denver (112-87), Chicago (114-95) and Atlanta (128-104). Oklahoma City has yet to play a close game and the oddsmakers don't expect it to be a close game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander nearly recorded a triple-double against the Hawks with 35 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists.

San Antonio is 1-2 and almost pulled off a comeback win against Houston (106-101) in their last game. Victor Wembanyama had an impressive overall game against Houston, setting early season highs in rebounds (20), assists (5) and blocks (4). The Spurs will look to ride the young superstar as he faces Chet Holgrem and the Thunder.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Oklahoma City's team total over 117.5 against the Spurs with a spread on the Spurs 1H ML:

“If we're talking half units or sprinkles, I can get away with the Spurs 1H ML in Oklahoma City. Despite being -13 home favorites, the Thunder have not yet been tested and Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs are hungry.

San Antonio led Dallas and Houston at halftime of their first two games before falling behind in the previous game against the Rockets. However, last season, Oklahoma City won three meetings against San Antonio by scores of 26, 38 and 36, but lost one by 14 and trailed at halftime.

We'll know how competitive this game is by halftime, but the Thunder will definitely score a lot of points. OKC scored 123, 140, 132 and 127 points in four meetings with the Spurs last season. I think OKC is going for 120-plus points for the Spurs again, so give me the Thunder Team Total Over 117.5 and I would reward the Spurs with 1H ML for fun.”
