The Oklahoma City Thunder have been far from a safe bet this season but have been especially poor as of late. Ahead of tonight’s road matchup with the high-flying Golden State Warriors, the Thunder have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven to sink to 20-31 ATS — bad enough to tie them with the abysmal Phoenix Suns to become the worst bet in the NBA. Books opened OKC in the +8.5 ballpark for the tilt.
- The Warriors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games.
- The OVER is 4-0 in the Thunder's last 4 vs. the Western Conference.
- The Thunder are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 meetings with the Warriors.
Golden State has been phenomenal at home this season and will be looking to improve to a perfect 23-0 SU at Oracle Arena on the year. That’s a trend that will once again favor Dubs backers, as home court advantage has been huge in this series. In the last five clashes between the Western Conference foes, home sides are 5-0 ATS.
As bad as the Thunder have been as a spread play, they have been good in one regard at the betting window: cashing OVER tickets. The OVER is 6-1 in the Thunder’s last seven games. Seven of OKC’s past nine contests with Stephen Curry and company have also gone above the closing total.
