The Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder collide at the Paycom Center on Tuesday night.

The Golden State Warriors have hit the ground running this season as they are looking to build on their current three-game win streak after blowing past the Kings in a 119-107 road win on Sunday. Stephen Curry led the team with 27 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists, Jordan Poole added 22 points, Andrew Wiggins scored 17 points while Draymond Green chipped in with 14 points, six rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 44 percent from the field and 13 of 37 from the 3-point line as they hung with the Kings in a tight contest, until the fourth quarter where they held the Kings to just 19 points to pull away and win comfortably in the end.

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder are coming into this game hoping to snap a three-game skid after getting stopped by the shorthanded 76ers in a 115-103 home loss on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 29 points, six rebounds and eight assists, Josh Giddey racked up 19 points with eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals while Luguentz Dort chipped in with 13 points but no other player finished in double figures. As a team, the Thunder shot just 47 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line but they were always fighting an uphill battle after allowing the 76ers to pour in 36 points in the first quarter.

Looking at the betting trends, the Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games, 4-1 ATS in their last five games against a team with a losing record and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a win. The Thunder are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games, 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following a loss of more than 10 points and 8-24 ATS in their last 32 games overall.

Head to head, the under is 20-7 in the last 27 meetings overall, the Warriors are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Oklahoma City and the Warriors are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings overall.

Here we clearly have two teams headed in opposite directions as the Warriors have started the season on fire with three wins on the trot while the Thunder have lost all their three games by double-digits. The Warriors are also 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Oklahoma City, so we’re going to go ahead and take the Warriors to get the win and cover here.
