The Oklahoma City Thunder invade the Chase Center to battle the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. Here’s a Warriors vs Thunder Prediction. This article will include a Warriors vs Thunder Pick.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 17 of their last 20 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after beating the Trail Blazers in a 118-108 road win on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 35 points on 12 of 25 shooting, Jalen Williams added 24 points with eight assists while Isaiah Hartenstein tallied 14 points with 12 rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Thunder shot 47 percent from the field and 10 of 30 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with a 39-point burst in the second quarter to build a 19-point lead which was more than enough to hold off the shorthanded Trail Blazers the rest of the way. The Thunder will meet the Kings after this game.
Golden State Warriors
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a rut as they’ve lost five of their last nine games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after taking down the slumping Jazz in a 114-103 home win last night. Dennis Schroder led the team with 23 points, five rebounds, and four assists, Brandin Podziemski added 20 points with seven rebounds and six assists off the bench while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 19 points on five of 17 shooting. As a team, the Warriors shot just 39 percent from the field and 17 of 49 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with a 35-point explosion in the second quarter to turn an early 10-point deficit into a 15-point lead before they cruised in the second half to earn the much-needed win at home. The Warriors will face the Suns following this one.
Warriors vs Thunder Prediction
The Thunder are still shorthanded with Chet Holmgren still out, while the Warriors will again be missing Draymond Green and they have Stephen Curry listed as day-to-day on the injury report. The Thunder open as clear favorites as they have been the hottest team in the league lately, while the Warriors were really struggling before last night’s win over the slumping Jazz. The line was always going to be hefty for this one. The Thunder have been on a tear and I think they jump out early and cruise their way to a double-digit win against this weary Warriors team playing their second game of a back-to-back set.
