The Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder duke it out at the Paycom Center on Sunday night. Here’s a Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction. This article will include a Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Pick.
Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have been one of the hottest teams in the league so far, but they will be eager to bounce back in this one after having their five-game win streak snapped by the Cavaliers in a 136-117 road defeat on Friday. Jonathan Kuminga led the team in scoring with 21 points and five assists off the bench, Stephen Curry added 12 points while Brandin Podziemski chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Warriors shot 48 percent from the field and 13 of 42 from the 3-point line, but the writing was on the wall early in this one as the Warriors got off to a slow start and never had a chance after trailing by 83-42 going into halftime. The Warriors will play against the Mavericks following this game.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been on a tear as they’ve won eight of their first nine games overall and they will be looking to keep it going after blowing past the Rockets in a 126-107 home win on Friday. Chet Holmgren led the team with 29 points and three blocks on eight of 14 shooting, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 20 points with four assists while Alex Caruso chipped in with 10 points off the bench. As a team, the Thunder shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 37 from the 3-point line which aren’t impressive numbers, but they did all their damage in the third quarter where they exploded for 44 points to put the game to bed early.

Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Warriors have been one of the surprise teams in the league so far and they were playing great basketball before they got stopped in their tracks by the undefeated Cavaliers in their last outing. Meanwhile, the Thunder have been on fire and they will be full of confidence after smashing the Rockets in their last game. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Warriors got the upset win on the road, but I think this is just set up for the Thunder to come away with the statement win at home.
