Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Odds
Golden State Warriors Team News
The Golden State Warriors cannot boast of having a successful start to the season, considering that they are 6-6. Lately, they have been losing more and more often, which causes nervousness among some team members.
This was best felt in the match against the Minnesota Timberwolves, when Draymond Green tried to knock down Rudy Gobert with a wrestling grip, which looked more like an MMA grip. How it will all end, we will wait for the NBA commission to determine, and the epilogue of that game was not favorable for the Golden State Warriors, who lost to their rivals with 104:101, in an uncertain ending. Apart from that move by Green, which really had to be controlled, the games of Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards will also be recorded. Center of the Minnesota Timberwolves scored 33 points, in one of the best games in recent times, while his teammate added 20. On the other hand, Brandin Podziemski 23 points were not enough for the Golden State Warriors to surprise.
“Surprises”, because they played without their best player, Steph Curry. Although, even with him in the team, it would be difficult for the Golden State Warriors to fight the Minnesota Timberwolves. Even in the best days, Steve Kerr’s team had problems with a rival who has a dominant center, and it is the same today.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
The Oklahoma City Thunder play similarly to their next rival. Both the wins and the losses are lined up and so far there are no signs that they will be able to find consistency in the game. There is no need for that, given that they are playing to their potential and the question is how much room there is for improvement.
In the prelude to the duel against the Golden State Warriors, this team was dominant against the San Antonio Spurs, which it won 123:87. However, it should be noted that San Antonio is more deserving of such a defeat in that game, because they have been playing very poorly lately. Despite this, it should be noted that Oklahoma City Thunder played a very good defense and did not allow the rival more than 25 points in one quarter. It remains to be seen whether it was a real win and how much that result measured in the first place. In that game, the most outstanding players were Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 28 points and Josh Giddey with 18 points.
A great backcourt delights from game to game, but the impression is that Oklahoma City Thunder lacks a quality player in frontcourt. They are trying to get that from Chet Holmgren, but it remains to be seen how he will manage in the upcoming period.

Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
If Steph Curry and Draymond Green were in the lineup, we could confidently bet on the home team’s win in this match. Since they are not in the roster, it becomes challenging to determine the winner. Therefore, our suggestion is a bit different. our assessment is that in this game the number of points scored will be higher than the offered limit. Both teams are extremely good offensively, and in the last meeting between them a few days ago, they scored a combined 280 points. It was in the win of the Golden State Warriors 141:139.
