Thunder at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 116, Warriors 108

Moneyline

The THUNDER (-145) catch a break in San Francisco with Curry injured and Green suspended. Those 2 absences will upset the flow for the Warriors (+120), helping Oklahoma City avenge an earlier 2-point nail-biter loss to Golden State earlier this season.

As it stands, OKC is a respectable 3-1 SU/ATS in 4 games on the road this season, although it did lose outright in its only previous game as a road favorite in Sacramento on Nov. 10, so tread lightly.

Against the spread

The THUNDER -2.5 (-115) have covered the past 2 games and have gone 5-1 ATS in the past 6 outings. That loss to the Kings as favorites is the lone non-cover during the span. However, OKC also covered as a 6.5-point underdog at home against the Warriors during the stretch back on Nov. 3.

With the Warriors +2.5 (-105) shorthanded, the play is on the visitors.

Over/Under

UNDER 227.5 (-110) is the play in this matchup in the Bay Area.

While the Over has cashed in 5 straight meetings, including a combined 280 points in the first meeting in early November, the Warriors will be missing a huge chunk of their offense with Steph and Dray on the shelf.

The Under has cashed in 3 straight games for the Thunder, averaging 110.7 PPG while allowing just 97.0 PPG during the span.
