NBA - 511 San Antonio Spurs @ 512 Oklahoma City Thunder
Play #1
I have a strong lean w/ Under in this contest but I really needed the confirmation that Ibaka will play. There is yet to be released an official confirmation but it looks like he will play tonight:
“The most important thing against this team is defense. I’m sure you saw the last two games in San Antonio,” Ibaka said Sunday morning after going through his first workout with teammates since the injury on May 15. “So we really need a defensive mind tonight.”
Ibaka said the Thunder, with or without him, are ready to put a charge into this so-far lopsided series.
“You are going to see tonight,” Ibaka said. “You are going to see tonight.”
Obviously, it is impossible for him to be @100% but his presence on the floor will certainly help the team’s mindset for tonight. After being torched on the defensive end in the first two games of the series, OKC had some time to prepare tonight’s game. I wouldn’t be surprised that w/ Ibaka on the court, OKC will adapt a similar defensive game plan of switching everything just to confuse SAS’s offensive machine.
On the other end, SAS defense is just too good & disciplined and because OKC will have to throw some non-offensive threat players to the court, SAS defense will be focused in slowing down Durant and Westbrook.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 511/512 Under 208.5 @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
