This is going to be a big-time playoff-like matchup between the visiting Spurs and the home standing Oklahoma City Thunder. The Spurs had to do without Manu Ginobli for the better part of the season, but did not skip a beat at 28-13, and they have gotten better by the added depth developed in his absence. They have now acquired more help with Stephen Jackson acquired from Golden State, which won't help them on the court tonight, but mentally they can see management is giving them the tools to win it all, which should be an emotional lift. Oklahoma City has been spotty of late at just 4-3 in their last seven games, and have not played at the same level we saw earlier in the season. The Spurs are 16-4 in their last 20 and have been the better team in the last month. Putting Ginobli back on the court, they will have a chance to show it tonight. Play San Antonio on the moneyline.
