Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Oklahoma City Thunder are going to get the benefit of the doubt most nights, especially at home. However, the Golden State Warriors have played well up to this point, they’re 7-2 ATS on the season and should be eager to rebound after a nasty blowout loss to the Cavs on Friday. Also, each of the last three games between the Warriors and Thunder have seen overtime. This line feels a bit disrespectful toward the Warriors and the way they’re playing. I’ll grab the points.
