Victor Wembanyama put the NBA on notice on the biggest stage of his career Monday night, and now the Thunder have a serious problem. Wemby’s 41-point, 24-rebound masterpiece gave the Spurs a 122-115 win in double overtime to take Game 1 in a series Oklahoma City entered as heavy favorites. Rookie guard Dylan Harper, who joined the starting lineup with De’Aaron Fox sidelined from an ankle injury, looked like anything but a rookie – finishing with a historic 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and seven steals.
Now it’s on the Thunder to respond. SGA shot 7-23 in the series opener, Chet Holmgren attempted just seven shots, and OKC went 9-31 from three outside of Alex Caruso’s scorching 8-14 night from deep. The defending champs haven’t lost back-to-back home games all season, and the urgency tonight at the Paycom Center will be palpable: fall behind 0-2 at home, and this series is effectively over before it even gets to San Antonio.

Thunder -6.5 (-115): Oklahoma City has covered the spread at home in eight consecutive games following an overtime loss. The last five instances during the streak saw the Thunder cover by several significant margins, including blowout wins over Phoenix, Toronto, and Portland. The defending champs are 38-7 at home this season and have not lost back-to-back games at the Paycom Center all year. All things considered, this is a strong situational spot for a Thunder team that figures to come out with urgency after a Game 1 that slipped away in double overtime.
