Thunder vs Warriors Analysis

The Warriors will travel to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder, with Golden State opening as a 12.5-point road favorite tonight with a total of 212.5 points.

The Warriors will have the splash brothers available along with Wiggins and Looney with Porter a game time decision, while OKC will be waiting on the status of Lu Dort to see if he will be available tonight.

The Warriors are on a roll and OKC has been treading water since the SGA injury so we have an interesting game from a betting perspective….let’s dive in and find our favorite plays.

OKC NOSE(knows) DORT

Lu Dort’s nose is the big story for OKC now as he’s been great since SGA went out. He led them to three wins, and in the game he had to sit out, they lost by ten to Sacramento which doesn’t bode well for them playing the white-hot Warriors tonight.

When we look at that game against the Kings, Giddey played well, but other than that it wasn’t pretty. They were bad on defense as every Kings starter had 13 or more points, and if Dort doesn’t play tonight you can imagine what the stat lines will look like for Golden State.

OKC is 4-1 ATS their last 5 games, and the one non-cover was last game without Dort. This team is hot and cold as they take the 8th most three point shots a game, but unfortunately they have the worst make percentage in the league from three. That will have to change tonight for them to have a chance.

WARRIORS SURGING

It’s been a nice run for Golden State as they are back to winning lots of games in a row again. They are on an eight game winning streak, and they’ve been scoring a lot of points recently, although against bad teams. Their last three games they’ve averaged 124 points against Houston, San Antonio and Sacramento, but they haven’t been an amazing cover team in this stretch going 5-4-1 ATS their last 10.

It’s been an interesting stretch for Curry as he’s been able to help his team rack up wins without having to shoulder too much responsibility as he’s lead the team in scoring in only two out of the last seven games, and against a depleted team like OKC I can see a similar result where the surrounding cast takes control tonight. There aren’t anything of note in terms of streaks on the totals or spreads, but there is a play that stands out to me.

THUNDER VS WARRIORS PREDICTION

Even if Dort plays, I don’t know how efficient he can be tonight, but I know Golden State can be efficient and they’ve shown they don’t stop scoring late in games. In fact, the last few games of Golden State’s have been close so we aren’t getting the situations where a team is up and then quits scoring in the fourth quarter.

Golden State’s team total is 113.5 in tonight’s game and I will take the Warriors to go over this and into the 120s as they’ve done so in three straight. OKC just gave up 113 to Sacramento who has been struggling to score, and with a rested Curry and company I don’t see the Thunder putting up an effective defensive effort tonight.

Thunder vs Warriors Preview from GoldSheet

This one’s definitely a mismatch on paper, with Golden State winning five-straight and covering six of the last seven against Oklahoma City, but the Warriors couldn’t cover the number in first trip to OKC, and the Thunder remain the second-best point spread team in the league at 31-19-1 while Golden State is just 12-12 vs. the spread on the road on the season.

Now the main problem for OKC is the fact that Lu Dort (second-leading scorer at 17 ppg) was forced to sit out Saturday night against the Kings with a facial contusion, joining top scorer Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and starting C Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (injured foot turned out to be broken) on the injured list.

Warriors have won eight-straight overall but are just 3-5 against the money in their last eight road games and have a trip to Utah coming up next. Thunder can rally around rookie Josh Giddey (17 ppg, 49% last five games) and Tre Mann (15.2 ppg last five) and Dort isn’t necessarily out.
