Warriors at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 111, Thunder 104

Moneyline

The Warriors have won 4 games in a row and have beaten the Thunder in 9 of the last 10 meetings. They have not allowed more than 102 points in their last 3 games.

The Thunder have not won a game when scoring fewer than 108 points this season.

But betting the Warriors on the moneyline doesn't make sense at -225. You don't win enough to make it worth your while.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Warriors' only win without covering the spread was their victory over the Kings on Wednesday.

The Thunder have covered the spread in their wins and failed to cover it in their losses.

The Warriors are 7-2-1 ATS against the Thunder in their last 10 meetings. Their 3 other wins, other than against the Kings, have all been by at least 8 points.

BET WARRIORS -5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Three of the Warriors' 5 games this season have not reached 215 total points. The Over has hit in only 1 of their games this season.

Three of the Thunder's last 4 games have not reached tonight's projected total.

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).
