3* NBA on TNT SMASH on Spurs -2
The Spurs just played last night in New Orleans, but I'm not worried about them being fresh here. The season is young so they aren't feeling the effects of a back-to-back the same way they will be later in the season. If anything, playing last night is a positive because it allowed them to work out a few kinks. In front of their home crowd and up against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs, they'll be ready to go!

The Spurs are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games when playing without a days' rest. They are an awesome 40-17-4 ATS in their last 61 games overall, 23-6-1 ATS in their last 30 home games, 33-14-4 ATS in their last 51 games following a win and 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games.

The Thunder have some new pieces to get acquainted with after shipping James Harden to Houston. They won't be the same well-oiled machine they were last season early on as they try to adjust to life without their star sixth man. The Thunder enter the season at 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. It is also worth noting that the home team is on a 4-1 ATS run in this series.
