Total: 225.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
This isn't the high scoring Thunder team of years past. The Thunder, minus Kevin Durant, are now a grind-out, physical team totally dependent on Russell Westbrook and erratic Victor Oladipo to make plays. They are below average offensively in the frontcourt. The Thunder should play hard against Durant in his first game against his former team. The Thunder know they aren't going to beat the Warriors by playing run-and-gun with them.
The Warriors have yet to find a consistent offensive rhythm yet as Durant fits into his new teammates. Golden State failed to break 106 points in half of its four games.
There should be a lot of intensity to this matchup as the Thunder have revenge from last season's playoff loss - blowing a 3-1 series lead - along with the Durant factor. The under has cashed six of the last seven times the teams have played at Golden State.
