Golden State Warriors @ Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC -12, 216.5) 8:10 PM
The Warriors have scored 110 or more points in 6 of their last games and now have DeAngelo Russell back. Meanwhile, after the Thunder held their first three oponents to 100 or less, they have allowed at least 100 in 4 of their last 5, with the Magic the only team not to reach that mark. The Thunder offense has score 112 or more in 4 of their last 6 while the Warriors defense has allowed at least 118 points in 7 of their 8 games. Even if we’re being conservative, give the Warriors 100 and the Thunder 118 minimum and we have already hit the over.
Bet: Over 216.5
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Warriors 108 Thunder 114

Against Top 15 Defenses: 1-3, 103.5 points per game, -3 Margin of Victory
The Celtics rank 5th in total defense this season. I think a tough defense continues to give the Spurs trouble.
