The San Antonio Spurs will be without LaMarcus Aldridge for the second straight game when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. Aldridge is dealing with a stomach issue that’s being characterized as a bug. The Spurs will likely start Jakob Poeltl in his absence. Poeltl had gotten all the starts at the center position this season when Aldridge wasn’t available.
Aldridge’s absence hasn’t had much of an impact on the point spread, which remains relatively flat after the Spurs opened as a 6.5 point favorite. Instead, we’ve seen some sharp action on the total with early bettors siding targeting the over.
