Warriors at Thunder: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Warriors 113, Thunder 106
Money line (ML)
The Warriors (-750) are a risky play laying seven-and-a-half times your potential return, especially on the road. This isn’t 2015-19.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The THUNDER +11.5 (-110) should be able to keep it within single digits. While the Warriors -11.5 (-110) have been playing well lately, they allow 113.8 PPG to rank 22nd in the NBA, so OKC should be able to do some damage to stay close on its home floor.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 224.5 (-110) is the best play in this game. Lately, for Golden State, it’s been all Under, all the time. The Under is 11-3 in its last 14 games on the road while cashing in four of the past five as a favorite.
And the Under is 20-6 in the past 26 meetings in this series, and 5-1 in the previous six battles between these two in OKC.
