Despite leading the NBA at 41-12 SU, the Golden State Warriors appear to be limping into the all-star break, and a poor showing in a 115-108 loss to Denver on Saturday will rightfully concern Warriors bettors ahead of Tuesday’s matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Low-scoring games are the norm when these teams get together, as six of the last seven meetings between the Warriors and Thunder have gone UNDER the total.
Sportsbook opened the Dubs as 10-point home favorites with a total of 230.
- The Thunder are 0-5 SU and ATS in their last five games after losing as a favorite.
- The Thunder are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as underdog.
- The Warriors are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a favorite of 10.0 or less.
The Warriors were playing the second night of a back-to-back and their third road game in five days on Saturday, so a letdown game is not much of a surprise. Golden State was just 8-for-31 from beyond the arc in the contest, with Kevin Durant serving as the bright spot thanks to 31 points on 12-of-16 shooting to improve to 24-for-33 from the floor in two games this month.
The Thunder are also performing poorly right now, as the club has dropped four straight games. Oklahoma City is 1-4 SU since losing shooting guard Andre Roberson – the team’s best perimeter defender – to a season-ending knee injury. OKC has allowed each of its last three opponents to knock down at least 13 three-pointers, which is a bad omen considering the Warriors lead the NBA in three-point shooting percentage (.392).
When coming off a loss in their previous game, the Warriors are undefeated this season. In the Dubs’ last 14 games after a loss, they’re 14-0 SU.
