Oklahoma City is an 8.5-point road underdog in Game 2 at Golden State at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In Game 1, the Thunder were going off at +7.5 on the road.
The remarkable postseason run of the Thunder continued on Monday when the team pulled off yet another shocking road upset. The Thunder handed San Antonio back-to-back home losses in Game 2 and Game 5 last round, going into both of those games as a 7.5-point underdog and coming out of them with outright wins.
Oklahoma City once again defied the odds as a 7.5-point underdog in Monday’s 108-102 road win over Golden State, improving to 4-0 SU and ATS in its last four games.
Since losing Game 2 to the Dallas Mavericks as a 14-point favorite at home, the Thunder are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 playoff games per the OddsShark NBA Database.
From Golden State’s perspective, Game 1 was looking like business as usual for the home team. The Warriors took a 60-47 lead into halftime, accentuated by a 30-foot three-point shot at the buzzer from Stephen Curry.
Golden State led by as many as 14 in the early stages of the third quarter, but an ill-timed combination of a cold stretch on offense and a hot streak for Russell Westbrook led to the Warriors losing the second half by 19 points. The Warriors fell to 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS over their last four playoff games.
Wednesday’s total is set at 221.5 points. The UNDER is 2-0 in the last two games between these two teams.
Earlier in the season, Oklahoma City’s biggest weakness was closing out games in the fourth quarter. But with the improved defense of Steven Adams and the strong play of Westbrook and Kevin Durant, closing out games has suddenly become a strength for the Thunder, putting the Warriors on alert after Game 1.
