BETTING STRATEGY
The gloves are always off when these two teams meet, with the Thunder scoring an impressive 125-105 victory at the Oracle on Feb. 6. But don’t expect a repeat performance tonight against a Warriors squad that looked focused and ready to get into playoff form their first game after the All-Star break when they downed the Clippers 134-127 at home in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicates. Although Golden State has looked vulnerable at times this year with 14 straight up losses and a 26-32-1 ATS record, it is a team that can turn it up in big time matches. Look for the Warriors to be on their ‘A’ game tonight to avoid a second straight home loss against OKC.
