Does Vegas have Spurs as 13-14 point favorites and -1100 moneyline because

a) Thunder dedicated to the tank
b) Thunder key starter SGA out

or both?

SGA looks to be a game time decision. Not yet ruled out from what I see.

On that note where is a site (or is there one?) that has up to the minute ACCURATE NBA game availabilty for every team?

Or does one need to rely on the team having a local who randomly leaks ACCURATE info.

Related albeit different sport NHL. Bet on goalie having fabulous year on good team Florida vs San Jose (.500 so-so) last night. Even the *reliable* sites had Russian goalie confirmed as starting. Boom he was scratched about an hour before the game. I super lucked out anyways as 2-1 deficit became final period 2-2 tie and then 3-2 win in OT. Also got Under 5.5 to boot!

Nine times out of ten, the spurs should win since they currently have better talent, however Pop sometimes guts the lineup for no apparent reason other than its a day of the week that ends in the letter Y.

Exactly.
I've been milking Pop to lose the last 3 seasons but tonights game seems like a tossup rather then 11-1 Spurs.

[BatManu20]

Spurs by 20 tbh.

[Mr. Body]

Are the Spurs capable of blowing anyone out?

[slick'81]

Nobody out tanks okc

Spurs defense -eesh.

Last 20 games held teams under 110 like....3 times.
But one of those was OKC!

[Robz4000]

McDipshit is out for the season?

[BatManu20]

Goddamn OKC is terrible. Airballs, turnovers, baseline shots hitting the side of the backboard, no offensive structure whatsoever, etc. Legit G-League team. They’re full-on tanking.

Thunder by 10 tbh.

[lefty20]

Seems like Primo is determined to pass the ball every time he drives in, like bruh... at least consider taking a shot.

[lefty20]

At least the recent uptick in DJ's FTA is an encouraging sign.

I have no idea what they're doing. They've sucked for a while and have had good picks. Giddey was a good pick. SGA is good. What else do they have?

[Robz4000]

All this talk about OKC looking like shit yet the Spurs are no better tbh.

The Spurs haven't been tanking for years.

[Robz4000]

The Spurs haven't been tanking for years.

This is their second year tanking.

[lefty20]

KJ makin it rain.

[Robz4000]

KJ makin it rain.

His turnaround from three this year has been nothing short of amazing. Prolly the most underrated story in the NBA this season.

[Thomas82]

Spurs up by 12 at halftime.....game over!!

[KobesAchilles]

Damn anybody else watching:lol
Kj has such a smooth shot. Just needs to learn how to move his feet on defense

Presti trying to add to his war chest of draft picks...but Boston tried the same thing and still ended up with a middling team in the East. SGA is the only Thunder player worth building around right now.

Giddey looks pretty good too tbh.

[Dex]

Collins still seems a step slow on every play...hard to say if it's physical or mental at this point

[emanueldavidginobili]

Collins really is a hot head lmao

[LakerHater]

Bout time they took out Landale!!!

[lefty20]

Here comes da Tank!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Go Thunder!

[LakerHater]

Man, Spurs defense SUCKS!!!!

[lefty20]

Crazy fucking ending right here

[Robz4000]

Man, Spurs defense SUCKS!!!!

Spurs suck in all facets tbh.

[Robz4000]

[slick'81]

Lakers only two games behind sa

[BatManu20]

OKC fans on Twitter celebrating the L and saying “Thank you Lonnie!” :lol

Horrible night for the tank boys.

[Slippy]

Despite DJs best efforts late in the 4th to cock it up and continue the tank. Lonnie with the dagger three.

Looking at the spurs players reaction after, pretty sure they wanted this win.:wakeup

[BackHome]

Spurs now in the eight spot soon to be 9 by the end of weekend.

thankfully knocks keep winning. Spurs are on a one way trip to the playIn

[Dex]

Lakers have the third hardest remaining SOS and are playing like doo-doo. I think I read somewhere that like 9 of their remaining games are against teams above .500, and two of the games against sub-.500 teams are against NOP who are playing well right now and could potentially leapfrog LAL.

It is seriously conceivable that they completely fall out of the play-in tournament, and then have to give away their pick to boot.
