Advice and prediction
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander broke out over the games against the Warriors and Lakers, finally showing exactly what type of player he is after a slow three-game start. If the Thunder are to win or cover the spread, it would be on the back of him plus some player serving a complementary role. Perhaps Darius Bazley can replicate his 20-point performance against the Lakers, or maybe Ty Jerome can get rolling now that he’s not splitting time with Mann (or receiving DNPs).
But it would be highly risky to pick the Warriors to lose their second game in a row. Steph Curry continues to star, averaging more than 30 points and six assists per game along with 8.0 rebounds. In the first game against the Thunder, Curry had 23.
Golden State also won’t underestimate the Thunder after their last performance, a game in which OKC led for much of the first half before the Warriors finally put together a run in the third quarter and held on for the win. After the Thunder played so well against Golden State and then beat LA, the Warriors will not come out flat against a team that they are objectively better than.
Prediction: Warriors 116, Thunder 104
