The new Golden State Warriors-Oklahoma City Thunder rivalry won’t have the same look to it on Monday due to a season-ending knee injury to Kevin Durant, but you can expect plenty of bad blood when the squads collide in OKC tonight. Oddsmakers initially set the Thunder as 4-point home underdogs with a total of 219.5.
- The total has gone OVER in 10 of the Thunder's last 14 games at home.
- The Warriors are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games on the road.
- The Thunder are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four games with one day off between games.
Golden State took a few weeks to learn how to play without Durant, but the Warriors are rolling right now ahead of this one. Durant’s decision to depart Oklahoma City for California in the offseason changed the landscape of the NBA, but the Thunder haven’t been putting up much of a fight vs their Bay Area counterparts. The Warriors have won each of the first three meetings with the Thunder this season by double digits.
Oklahoma City is in a dogfight with the Los Angeles Clippers for the fifth spot in the Western Conference and sits a half-game back as both teams are tied in the loss column. Russell Westbrook’s streak of four straight triple-doubles came to an end when he was held to 28 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in the Thunder’s 110-94 win over Sacramento on Saturday.
The UNDER has been cashing when the Western Conference foes have collided lately, evidenced by four of the last five between the squads going below the total.
