The San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder face off in Game 5 of this Western Conference semifinals series tied at 2-2. It's time for the Spurs to step up their game, and I think they'll be off to a fast start tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Kevin Durant in San Antonio - The 27 year old forward was instrumental in Sunday's 111-97 win home in Oklahoma City scoring 41 points to even the series. He averaged just 22 points through the first two meetings at AT&T Center though, and the Spurs will make sure to shut down Durant again tonight.

2. Situational - The Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is an expert at motivating his squad to bounce back from setbacks as San Antonio has covered the spread in 18 of its past 24 games coming off a loss. The Thunder on the other hand have trouble to put up back-to-back solid performances lately and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win.

3. X-Factor - The Spurs were 40-1 at home during the regular season, and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Conference Semifinals games.
