Game SEVEN BAABBBEEE!

Las Vegas - Game seven baby. Always a tough one to handicap, so we'll throw a few props on the table. One of the problems for the Thunder is, they continue to come out of the gate in the 1st quarter with no fire. We looked over the entire series, and this is what we found. In game one, the 1st Q was tied at 27-27. In game two, the 1st Q was tied at 31-31. In game three, the Spurs won the 1st Q 31-26. In game four, the Spurs won the 1st Q again, 28-19. In game five, the Thunder finally won the 1st Q 29-27. And then in game six, the Spurs posted a YUGE 35-22 win in the 1st Q. Different story in the 2nd Q. In game one, the Spurs won the 2nd Q 24-17. In game two, the Thunder won the 2nd Q 31-20. In game three, the Thunder won the 2nd Q 32-20. In game four, the Spurs won the 2nd Q 22-19. In game five, the Thunder won the 2nd Q 40-31. In game six, the Thunder won the 2nd Q 31-25.
So, gotta think that the key to this game is a strong start for Oklahoma City. That's why we'll take the Thunder to win the 1st Q at -1/2 point. Also gonna buy the Thunder to win the 2nd Q at -1.5 points. If OKC lost the 1st Q, then we would double the bet for the 2nd Q. Enjoy the deposit.
