My Best Bet For Golden State vs Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City +1
These teams split the first games this season, both coming at Oracle Arena, I think now that the Thunder get a home game it should be able to win outright. Additionally, Golden State’s Kevin Durant is listed as doubtful for tonight’s game which gives Oklahoma City more of an edge. I expect the Thunder’s Steven Adams to be able to do a lot of damage and he averaged 18.5 points in the two meetings with the Warriors already.
