San Antonio Spurs vs Thunder Money Line predictions

Money Line wagering on NBA is a fun way to bet on one team or the other, while taking the point spread out of play. Instead of laying or taking the points on the spread, you can lay odds on the favorite or take odds on the underdog to simply win the game outright.

If you are looking to wager on a game, but want to avoid the point spread, a Money Line wager is worth considering. For an example of how a Money Line wager differs from an agaisnt the spread wager, we will use our Spurs -2 hypothetical example from above. Instead of the standard -110 on an against the spread play, the Thunder +2 can instead be had on the Money Line at +110, which adds equity on rate of return and amount risked on your wager.

With the Spurs having an edge on the all time series but the Thunder being the more successful team of late, history cannot be the lone predictor of this particular matchup.
