Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals pits the Thunder against the San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center. After Victor Wembanyama’s 41‑point, 24‑rebound Game 1, the Thunder responded with two wins, then the Spurs delivered a 21‑point blowout in Game 4. A 127‑114 Thunder victory in Game 5 held Wembanyama to 20 points, giving Oklahoma City a chance to clinch the West.

SportsLine projects the total under 219.5 points, giving the line a B grade, while expert Mike Barner backs De'Aaron Fox to exceed 9.5 combined rebounds and assists at -122 odds. Isaiah Hartenstein’s defense limited Wembanyama to 26.7% shooting in Game 4, his third‑worst mark this season, suggesting the Thunder may repeat their containment strategy.

Elsewhere, the Blue Jays enter a tight duel with the Orioles as lefty Patrick Corbin (2‑1, 3.86 ERA) faces a Toronto lineup that struggles 21st in OPS versus southpaws; SportsLine gives Toronto a +109 money‑line and a B grade. In the NHL, Montreal’s rookie netminder Jakub Dobes holds a .919 save percentage, earning the Canadiens a +190 A‑grade chance to force Game 6 in Raleigh.
