Best Bet
The Thunder have one of the best defences in the league and rank 1st in the NBA for points allowed (106.4 per game). They come into this matchup having gone Under in 4 of their last 6, so the trend looks likely to continue. San Antonio also have a positive record against the Under, going 4-1 in their last 5 games. In this matchup, the Under has saluted in 4 of the last 5 meetings as well.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Spurs against the Thunder.
- 1st Leg – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 30+ Points: Shai is looking to make it 4 straight games with 30 or more points. Gilgeous-Alexander has an average of 31.0 pts in the last 5 games too.
- 2nd Leg – Stephon Castle 15+ Points: Castle has beaten the 15+ point mark in 5 straight games. He also has a good record against the Thunder, scoring 22 and 32 in his last 2 games against them.
- 3rd Leg – Devin Vassell 4+ Rebounds: Vassell has 6, 7 and 6 rebounds in his last 3 games. So, the 4+ rebound prop looks like a safe bet.

Best Bet
The Lakers knocked off the Suns last week and even without Doncic, LA should be a solid bet at the line. They should get Reaves back into the lineup and that helps offset the loss of Doncic’s scoring. The Lakers also have been playing well on the road, winning 7 of their last 9 – that includes a win at this arena.
Los Angeles Lakers +5.5 @ $1.90
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Suns against the Lakers.
- 1st Leg – Devin Booker 25+ Points: Booker is coming off 38 points in his last game against the Warriors and also had 27 in the Suns recent matchup with the Lakers.
- 2nd Leg – LeBron James 25+ Points: With Doncic out, James takes on more of the load and has been shooting well lately. He scored 36 pts in his last game against the Clippers and scored 26 in the recent win over the Suns.
- 3rd Leg – Jarred Vanderbilt 6+ Rebounds: Vanderbilt should be able to get 6+ boards. He did so against the Suns in the last matchup and is averaging over 6 rebounds in his last 3 games.
