Series History
OKC is 2-0 against Golden State so far this season (1-0 at home, 1-0 on the road).
Why the Thunder Will Cover (-10.5)
I had Golden State covering the double-digit spread, but that was before Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler were ruled out alongside Draymond Green. This leaves the Warriors significantly hampered in what they can do on the offensive end, so barring an extremely poor performance by OKC, I see the Thunder covering easily.
Why the Game Will NOT Hit the Over (228.5)
OKC’s defense looked a lot more typical on Wednesday against Portland, forcing 24 turnovers and holding the Trail Blazers to just 95 points. Golden State’s offense relies heavily on Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. They are going to struggle to score points without those two, and even if the Thunder is firing on all cylinders, I don’t know if this one touches this point total.
