He led them to three wins, and in the game he had to sit out, they lost by ten to Sacramento which doesn\u2019t bode well for them playing the white-hot Warriors tonight.<\/p>\n When we look at that game against the Kings, Giddey played well, but other than that it wasn\u2019t pretty. They were bad on defense as every Kings starter had 13 or more points, and if Dort doesn\u2019t play tonight you can imagine what the stat lines will look like for Golden State.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n WARRIORS SURGING<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s 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\u2019ve been scoring a lot of points recently, although against bad teams. Their last three games they\u2019ve averaged 124 points against Houston, San Antonio and Sacramento, but they haven\u2019t been an amazing cover team in this stretch going 5-4-1 ATS their last 10.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been an interesting stretch for Curry as he\u2019s been able to help his team rack up wins without having to shoulder too much responsibility as he\u2019s 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\u2019t anything of note in terms of streaks on the totals or spreads, but there is a play that stands out to me.<\/p>\n THUNDER VS WARRIORS PREDICTION<\/h2>\nEven if Dort plays, I don\u2019t know how efficient he can be tonight, but I know Golden State can be efficient and they\u2019ve shown they don\u2019t stop scoring late in games. In fact, the last few games of Golden State\u2019s have been close so we aren\u2019t getting the situations where a team is up and then quits scoring in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n Golden State\u2019s 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\u2019ve 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\u2019t see the Thunder putting up an effective defensive effort tonight.<\/p>\n OFFICIAL PLAY: Warriors Over 113.5 Points<\/strong><\/p>\n Interested in placing a bet on Monday’s Thunder vs Warriors clash? Caesars Sports is offering up to a $1,500 match bet for first-time deposits in New Jersey, West Virginia, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona, New York and Louisiana.<\/em><\/p>\n This one\u2019s 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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\u2019t necessarily out.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc8 Looking to add a little wagering (or entertainment) spice to your \u201cBig Game\u201d gathering?
