Best Bet
Under 219.5 (-110).
Both teams play at a similar, slightly below-average pace (99.5 range), and OKC’s defense has been the better unit by a wide margin (107.3 DRtg). Golden State also comes in short-handed offensively with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III ruled out, which raises the bar for the Warriors to contribute enough to push this game into the 220s. Even if OKC controls the game, a slower possession environment helps keep the total from running away.
