NBA Premium Card 05/19

NBA - 503 Oklahoma City Thunder @ 504 San Antonio Spurs

Play #1


For this contest I have a small lean w/ OKC mostly because they can surprise the Spurs regarding game plan and rotation. Obviously, without Serge Ibaka, the Spurs are now in a pretty favorable position to advance to the NBA finals. However, for this first game, the Spurs will be guessing too much while OKC can surprise them… will OKC play small ball w/ Durant @PF? or Scott Brooks will ride a traditional 2-big men lineup w/ Collison, Adams and Perkins combining to play more than 30 minutes? Because things haven't been going good for us, I’m passing Sides in here…

The play that I really liked for today is Under FIRST QUARTER because I’m pretty sure that Scott Brooks will go “traditional” (as usual) to start the game w/ Westbrook, Thabo, Durant, Collison/Adams and Perkins and this lineup will stink on the offensive end. On the other end, OKC athleticism on the defensive end (even without Ibaka) will be a new challenge for a Spurs’ offense that is coming from facing the Mavericks and the Blazers – two mediocre defensive teams and so, I expect the Spurs to be a little “rusty” to start the game. Eventually, OKC will shift for a small lineup w/ Durant @PF and the Spurs’ will find their offensive “mojo­” but this won’t matter for us…

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 503/504 Under 53 FIRST QUARTER @ -115 / 1.87 on Bookmaker
