Thunder vs Warriors Best Bet: Warriors ML +126
The Warriors enter this matchup as the underdogs despite having a home-court advantage. Although it seems shocking, the Thunder’s young squad has emerged as a serious title contender over the last couple of years. They’ve done nothing but live up to their high expectations. However, with the two-time MVP on Golden State’s side, it’s hard to bet against the Warriors when the odds are stacked against them, especially in front of their home fans.
Thunder vs Warriors Best Total Bet: Over 227.5
The Thunder and the Warriors have shown how explosive they can be on offense through the start of the season. Between Stephen Curry and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the two squads have a good chance of finding themselves in a shootout on Wednesday night. A final score of 122-117 seems realistic for this Western Conference showdown.

Thunder Best Player Bet: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 8+ Assists +195
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has undeniably been the go-to guy in the Thunder’s offense over the last few seasons, and while the team will likely depend on him against the Warriors, expect Golden State to attempt to get the ball out of his hands as much as possible. In turn, if the MVP candidate can make the right read each trip down, he’ll be able to put his teammates in a position to score, which could drive his assists numbers up. Not to mention that Gilgeous-Alexander has had 8+ assists in three of the team’s last four games.
Warriors Best Player Bet: Buddy Hield to Score 20+ Points +550
Buddy Hield joined the Warriors in the offseason and immediately became a scoring boost for Steve Kerr’s squad. The Oklahoma product started the year off strong, but he’s struggled over the last few weeks. However, in a big-time game against a well-coached Thunder team, Golden State will need Hield to step up on the offensive end to keep pace with OKC. The former lottery pick could be in line for a bounce-back game against the Thunder.
