The Oklahoma City Thunder travel to the Chase Center to take on the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in good shape as they’ve won seven of their last 11 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after making light work of the Rockets in a 153-121 home win on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 42 points on 14 of 23 shooting in just three quarters of action, Mike Muscala added 19 points while Josh Giddey tallied 17 points with eight rebounds and 10 assists. As a team, the Thunder shot 57 percent from the field and a sizzling 21 of 46 from the 3-point line as they dominated the first half by 79-53, before they poured in another 44 points in the third quarter to push the lead out to 45 points at one stage.
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in decent form as they’ve won five of their last eight games and they will be looking to keep it going after sneaking past the Mavericks in a 119-113 home win on Saturday. Stephen Curry led the team with 21 points, six rebounds and seven assists before leaving the game early, Draymond Green tallied 17 points with nine rebounds and nine assists while Klay Thompson chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Warriors shot 54 percent from the field and 14 of 35 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 40 points in the first quarter to take the early lead and they were able to stay in front despite losing Curry to a knee injury mid game.
Looking at the betting trends, the Thunder are 42-20-1 ATS in their last 63 road games, 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record and 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall.
Head to head, the under is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings in Golden State, the Thunder are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Golden State and the Thunder are 1-7-1 ATS in the last nine meetings overall.
The Thunder are shorthanded again as Luguentz Dort is still out, while the Warriors will be without Stephen Curry. The Thunder have been building nicely, especially Gilgeous-Alexander who looked unstoppable in the teams’ dominant win over the Rockets on Saturday and it looks like they’ve caught the Warriors at a good time with Curry now out of the picture. Sure, the Warriors are still heavy favorites because they’re so tough to beat at home, but the Thunder are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record and I think they can pull off the upset in this spot.
