Heading into this season, there were plenty of fans out there who had the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors as a potential Western Conference Finals matchup. After all, it was just a few games away from being last year’s. With the two now facing off in a featured NBC matchup, we’ve got our best Thunder vs. Warriors predictions for tonight. 

Additionally, we’ll help fans in OKC and California (and over 40 states!) by adding to our top Thunder vs. Warriors picks with a guaranteed 10x Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

Thunder vs. Warriors Predictions for NBA on NBC, 12/2

If you thought that the Thunder took the NBA by storm last season with the league’s best record, they’ve been off to an even hotter start this year. Sitting at a ridiculous 20-1, it’s no surprise to see that the Thunder vs. Warriors odds of tonight have them massively favored, even on the road. 

Of course, Warriors injuries also play a massive role in that - they are without Stephen Curry for sure. Also, a factor for any Thunder vs. Warriors predictions is that we see Jimmy Butler listed as questionable for tonight. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to note other injuries on both sides as we go, but they’re too notable to ignore.

In any case, it’s so difficult to bet against the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and OKC these days, but at the same time, double-digit spreads are also tough to trust. It’ll be SGA taking things over if they’re to cover (as usual), due to the Thunder also being without Alex Caruso, Lu Dort, and Isaiah Hartenstein.

Although we aren’t going to get these star-studded teams at full strength, it’s still our job to find a best bet from our Thunder vs. Warriors predictions!
 

 

 

Thunder vs. Warriors Best Bet: Over 222.5 Points (-108 at Novig)

We know that fans aren’t going to want to hear it, but our favorite pick hangs in the balance based on the status of Jimmy Butler. If he plays, we’d be willing to take the Warriors +11.5 at home; if he doesn’t, we’d lay it with OKC. After all, when these teams played three weeks ago, the Thunder won by 24 points.

That was also a home game for SGA and company, but at the same time, it was also a game in which Stephen Curry was healthy. Therefore, the concern with the focus of our Thunder vs. Warriors predictions here is that Golden State scored just 102 points. However, that was a game in which Steve Kurr was trying to send a message.

Four Warriors bench players ended up with the same number of minutes as the starting five, and it wasn’t only because it was a blowout. Even without that factor, OKC being without Isaiah Hartenstein also takes away some of their defensive prowess, and we actually don’t hate more time from Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody.

They’re far fresher than the rest of this banged-up squad, and if Jimmy Butler plays on top of that, more good news for us. As for OKC, they’re more than capable of doing their fair share of the total for our Thunder vs. Warriors predictions for tonight, as they’re the third-highest scoring team in the NBA.

Even Golden State has the third-best record for overs this season, so oddsmakers may have adjusted a bit too much to the absence of Stephen Curry. Therefore, the best bet from our Thunder vs. Warriors predictions tonight is over 222.5 points (-108 at Novig).
