Thunder vs Warriors predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 121, Golden State 103
Golden State earned an overtime road win over Houston on Thursday despite being without Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Kristaps Porzingis. That should tell you that this team can’t be taken lightly. Still, beating the reigning NBA champions while short-handed is even more difficult. Shot creation will be tough against an OKC defense that’s stacked with elite defenders, and getting stops will also be a challenge against an offense that’s led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Give me the Thunder at home.
