Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/27/24

The Thunder started their West Coast road trip with an easy 21-point win and cover in Sacramento. SGA and Jalen Williams combined for 65 points, while big man Isaiah Hartenstein posted a second double-double in two games. With the depth they have, there is no reason to rush Chet Holmgren back. In the win against the Kings, guard Lu Dort had a crazy stat line. He scored zero points but grabbed 10 boards and led the team with a +20. 

After a sizzling start, the Warriors have lost their last two games, both as favorites. Top scorer Steph Curry is listed as day-to-day and that is definitely one you want to watch if you are thinking about backing Golden State. They have good depth overall but not that good. There is not a single player averaging even 30 minutes per game so lots of guys get some run. It has been good to see wing Andrew Wiggins be effective again. They need him even more against a perimeter dominant team like OKC. 

The Thunder are small favorites, which leads me to believe the market things Curry is going to play. Even with him, I still like the visiting Thunder. Every time they have been in a game that was expected to be close they have won and covered. Their depth and defense help them pull away.
