Even on the road, Oklahoma has a better chance of winning. Golden State hasn't been impressive lately. They've lost 4 of their last 7 home games. They also have some roster issues.
As for the Thunderers, they continue to crush their opponents. It is not for nothing that they have the status of the best away team in the West. However, we do not believe in their easy victory. On their home court, the warriors are obliged to put up a fight and not lose with a crushing score.
Our betting tip is Golden State with a handicap (+10.5) points for 1.85
Bet on total
Most of the recent face-to-face meetings between the opponents have been productive. Considering their style of play, we have no doubt that the duel will be a high-scoring one.
Betting Tip - total over 225.5 points for 1.70
Bet on statistics
The last match for Schroeder was quite productive, but before that he had not impressed with his results. We do not believe in a second such match, so we assume that the German will score less than 21 points.
Prediction - Dennis Schroder: Total under 20.5 points at 1.78
