Oklahoma City Thunder Daily Fantasy Spin
Oklahoma City point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was superb in his team’s 123-87 blowout win over San Antonio on Tuesday. In that game, Gilgeous-Alexander had 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 7 steals. SGA was efficient too, as he shot 10 for 16 from the floor and 7 of 7 from the charity stripe.
Thunder shooting guard Josh Giddey was also great in his team’s win on Tuesday. Giddey poured in 18 points on 7 of 11 shooting from the field and recorded 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocks to help spur his club to the win.
Golden State Warriors Daily Fantasy Spin
Golden State will be without two of their most important players on Thursday night. The Warriors will be without point guard Stephen Curry as he nurses a right knee sprain. Curry is third in the NBA in scoring this season with 30.7 points per game.
Warriors power forward Draymond Green will also miss Thursday night’s game due to a suspension. Green placed Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold during an on-court scuffle on Tuesday night, and he’s been handed a 5-game suspension from NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

The Thunder are 29-21-1 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest since the start of last season.
Thunder vs. Warriors NBA Prediction:
Golden State not having Stephen Curry and Draymond Green could likely prove pivotal in this contest. Curry leads the NBA with 5.6 made three-pointers per game this season, and his absence could lead to some floor-spacing issues for Golden State on Thursday. Then there’s the fact that Draymond Green got suspended for five games. Green is one of the team’s vocal leaders and most versatile defenders. He doesn’t score a lot, but he brings a lot to the table with his passing, rebounding, and defensive prowess.
Oklahoma City is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, and they’ve won 4 out of their last 5 games straight up. The Thunder are an extremely deep and well-balanced team as they have 5 players averaging over 12 points per game. Oklahoma City’s top three scorers (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams) are all shooting over 52% from the floor this season. As a team, the Thunder are sixth in effective field goal percentage and third in true shooting percentage this season. I think Oklahoma City’s young guns will be too much for a shorthanded Warriors team to handle at home on Thursday.
