The Thunder wrapped up a 3-game road trip with a 103-100 victory over the Knicks in New York City on Wednesday night, and now they return home to Oklahoma City for a 4-game homestand. Tonight they host the Golden State Warriors, who have struggled in the absence of the injured Steph Curry. Still, the Warriors have some young talent that cannot be overlooked. Just two nights ago, they defeated the Houston Rockets 115-113 in overtime.

OKC has had a tough time covering spreads, not just recently but all season long. However, the Thunder is 3-0 against the spread when playing the Warriors this season, as all three games have been dominant wins for OKC. I think tonight is going to be a similar situation, especially when you consider that the Thunder is the healthier team in a matchup for once. Golden State doesn’t have anyone who can slow down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the Thunder has enough depth at every position to keep the Warriors uncomfortable.
