Fresh off squaring the Western Conference Final at 2 games a piece, the San Antonio Spurs travel to face the Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center tonight. You can catch the action at 8:30 pm ET broadcasting live nationally on NBC and Peacock, with OKC listed as favorites in the latest NBA odds.
The Thunder have been propelled by the relentless offensive engine of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander so far in this series. On the other side, the Spurs continue to yield tremendous value as an underdog thanks to the two-way brilliance of Victor Wembanyama.

Spurs vs Thunder Player Prop Odds for Game 5

Diving into the numbers in this clash of top NBA Championship odds contenders, Wembanyama remains a statistical anomaly. His points total sits at an available 25.5, which is far too low for the offensive ceiling he’s flashed so far. I’ll be betting over that number, as well as targeting 7+ assists for SGA. With the Thunder likely missing Jalen Williams from the NBA starting lineups again, Gilgeous-Alexander will be counted on for not only his scoring, but his play-making as well.
Spurs vs Thunder Player Prop Picks for Game 5
- Victor Wembanyama OVER 25.5 Points (-107 at Bet365)
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 6.5 Assists (+105 at DraftKings)

While Wembanyama averaged a highly respectable 23.6 points per game on the road during the regular season, he has shifted into an entirely different gear. Across four games in this series against the Thunder, the French phenom has amassed 121 total points—a dominant 30.25 PPG average. He is effectively neutralizing Oklahoma City’s interior defense.
Wembanyama is shooting an efficient 53.4% from the field in the playoffs, a noticeable spike from his 49.3% mark in regular-season away games. He is averaging a staggering 28.0 points in his last five playoff games, proving he is a highly reliable asset. Wembanyama has gone over 25.5 points in 3 of 4 games against Oklahoma City this series and is one of the top values in this game per our NBA player prop analyzer.
Furthermore, Oklahoma City has allowed opponents to grab 12.1 offensive rebounds per game at home this season. Wembanyama’s length on the offensive glass (2.2 OREB/G in the playoffs) guarantees multiple put-back opportunities. I expect him to feast against a Thunder frontcourt that possesses a below-average 49.8% Total Rebound Percentage.
Gilgeous-Alexander is globally recognized for his unguardable scoring, but his play-making has quietly been the true engine for Oklahoma City. The MVP candidate averaged exactly 6.6 assists per game at home during the regular season. However, his facilitation has spiked drastically against San Antonio’s collapsing defense.
In four games against the Spurs this series, SGA has racked up 40 total assists, translating to a massive 10.0 APG average. He is generating 9.6 assists per game over his last five playoff appearances. Getting plus-money (+105) on a player averaging double-digit assists in the series is a phenomenal value.
San Antonio’s defensive scheme invites opponents to beat them from the outside. The Spurs surrender 35.6 three-point attempts per game in order to pack the paint. With San Antonio forced to send multiple defenders at his drives, Gilgeous-Alexander will continually find open shooters on the perimeter to comfortably clear this total and cash our tickets.
