Beating the Thunder in Oklahoma City isn't easy. But I see the Warriors doing it making the point they don't need Kevin Durant to be able to beat Oklahoma City.

Golden State is 3-0 versus the Thunder this season, including breezing past the Thunder, 130-114, at Oklahoma City last month. Going back to last season, the Warriors have covered in each of the last six meetings versus the Thunder.

The Warriors have gotten back their mojo since losing Durant to injury winning three in a row. Golden State is at the elite level. It's not asking too much for the Warriors to win this game straight-up.
