Gregg Popovich's teams historically have responded with a vengeance after a loss and the Spurs come off a 98-86 defeat at Minnesota on Wednesday. San Antonio's previous loss was to Milwaukee and the following game the Spurs blew out Chicago by 39 points. The Spurs shot only 41.8 percent against the Timberwolves, which could be attributed to a back-to-back situation after playing in Dallas the night before. San Antonio still has won five of its last seven games and it has covered the spread four of its last five home games. Oklahoma City is just 2-5 ATS its last seven road contests and 1-5 ATS its last six against teams with winning records. Also, the Thunder is 1-5 ATS its last six games when playing on one day of rest. The Thunder has won three straight, but they were all at home and it previously had lost three straight road games. Play the Spurs.
