  • What: NBA Regular Season Game
  • When: November 10, 2024
  • Who:  Golden State Warriors vs. OKC Thunder
  • Time:  4:00 p.m. PST
  • Where: Paycom Stadium (Oklahoma City, OK)

The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Golden State Warriors at Paycom Stadium on Sunday afternoon. 

Golden State

The Cleveland Cavaliers, 136-117, defeated the Warriors on Friday night, bringing their record to 7-2. They are now looking to recover as they travel to Oklahoma City.

The Warriors are excelling offensively this season, ranking second in scoring and showcasing strong shooting and rebounding.

Key players like point guard Stephen Curry (26.7 PPG against the Thunder), shooting guard Buddy Hield (19.1 PPG), and small forward Andrew Wiggins (15.1 PPG) have been impactful, while power forward Jonathan Kuminga (14.2 PPG) has also contributed significantly. 

However, as seen in their loss to the Cavaliers, the Warriors have had defensive lapses. They must maintain shooting efficiency, avoid excessive fouling, and tighten their defense against high-scoring teams to cover the spread.

Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma City Thunder have made a strong case early on as NBA title contenders after starting the season with an impressive 8-1 record. However, they are 17th in field-goal percentage and 14th in three-point shooting.

Their achievements are supported by a solid eighth-place ranking in free-throw percentage and 11th in total rebounds. On the defensive side, they shine by leading the league in blocked shots.

Point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 26.3 points per game with a 50 percent shooting efficiency, complemented by small forward Jalen Williams contributing 19 points per game and center Chet Holmgren adding 18.2 points per game.

To maintain their successful momentum and cover the spread, the Thunder will need to focus on smart shot selection, effective defense, and dominating the rebound game.

Warriors-Thunder Best Bet

The spread in this one is six points in favor of the Thunder. While the Thunder are at home, I don’t understand this line by oddsmakers. 

The Cavs just demolished the Warriors in a game where the Warriors trailed by 40 points at halftime. The Warriors are going to bounce back strong in this game. The Thunder suffered their first loss to the Nuggets, so this should be a great game. 

If the Thunder win, it will be by less than six points. The Warriors cover this six-point spread.

Warriors +6 points is the best bet at -110 odds at BetMGM.
