Golden State Warriors vs OKC Thunder preview

While the Warriors have had a great start, they were brought crashing down to reality with a 136-117 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The Cavs got off to an 83-42 start in the first half and never looked back.

Golden State’s defense, which is the second-best in the league with a 106.5 rating, failed miserably in the game against Cleveland. The offense failed to show up in the first half as well. Jonathan Kuminga led the team’s scoring with 21 points off the bench.

The Thunder, meanwhile, have the best defense and hold their opponents to just 97.3 points. After a narrow 124-122 loss against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, OKC bounced back strong with a dominating 126-107 win against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren had 29 points each.

Golden State Warriors vs OKC Thunder betting props

Steph Curry’s points total is set at 23.5. The two-time scoring champion is averaging just 19.7 points this season. He has also not had a single game with 30 points so far. Expect a breakthrough game from Curry on Sunday. Bet on the over here.

Chet Holmgren’s blocks total is set at 2.5. The second-year center is averaging 2.9 blocks per game. It should be a reasonable bet to go over here.

Golden State Warriors vs OKC Thunder prediction

While this is a game between the two best defenses in the league, the numbers show that the Thunder are way ahead of the Warriors. While Steph Curry and Co. should put up a fight after a lackluster showing on Friday, OKC should get the win. This should be a defensive masterclass with the team total staying under 227.5 points.
