Figuring out the Oklahoma City Thunder has been an act of absurdity this season. OKC’s schedule is filled with amazing wins and terrible losses. Among the highlights though are the Thunder going 2-0 SU and ATS against the Golden State Warriors. The Thunder will try and win their third consecutive meeting with the Warriors for the first time since 2012 when they visit Golden State Saturday.
- The total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Thunder' last 8 games against the Warriors.
- The Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after consecutive ATS losses.
- The Thunder are 2-10 SU in their last 12 games on the road against the Warriors.
Of course, the tandem of Russell Westbrook and Paul George have been a big reason for the Thunder’s victories over the Warriors. Westbrook and George have averaged a combined 63 points, 17.5 rebounds and 11 assists against Golden State this season. The teammates came out of the All-Star break red-hot as well with Westbrook recording a triple-double and George racking up 26 points, eight assists and seven rebounds vs Sacramento Thursday.
Much like the Thunder, the Warriors came out of the break refreshed and racked up 134 points vs the LA Clippers Thursday – their second-most of the campaign. Steph Curry – who, by his standards, has struggled against OKC this season – exploded for 44 points while shooting 8-for-11 from beyond the arc Thursday.
