Thunder Gameday: Looking to hit .500 against Warriors
If the Oklahoma City Thunder pull off a home win against the Golden State Warriors tonight, they will have identical 25-25 records on the season.
The Thunder have been better than expected this season, while Golden State has underperformed. Oklahoma City has a 15-10 record at Paycom Center, while the Warriors have gone 6-18 on the road thus far.
If OKC is going to make the playoffs, it looks like a game of great momentum hitting .500 for the season.
POSSIBILITIES:
The Thunder enter the day as 3-point underdogs to the Warriors, and the overall over/under is 240.5 points.
GAME KEY:
Oklahoma City will likely be without Lu Dort in this contest, which is a significant deal considering the Warriors’ guards. Between Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole, Golden State’s backcourt can put up points in a hurry.
Either way, this team has struggled all year and will give up points against certain matchups. The Thunder have good size with their guard rotation, which could also be difficult for the Warriors to slow down.
If this turns into a 3-point shootout, Golden State will have the upper hand. It will come down to whether or not OKC can play at their pace and control the style of play.
