Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder Analysis
The Golden State Warriors are off to a quick start, and it does not surprise anyone. This NBA team still has talent, despite not having the elite team they had during their title years. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson can still play at a high level, but their age is certainly becoming a factor in a younger league.
Curry is scoring 31 points per game and playing in just shy of 32 minutes. He is making nearly 55% of his shots this season. Chris Paul has come over and gotten off to a solid start with the Warriors. The point guard is coming off the bench, and scoring just shy of 10 points, and dishing out 8.2 assists per game. Golden State as a team is scoring 112.8 points per game.
The Warriors play this game on the road, and then have three more road games to follow. Trip to Cleveland, Detroit and Denver will take place next week, before they battle the Cavaliers next Saturday. Golden State Warriors picks are going to be interesting all season, especially if they can stay off the NBA Injury Report.
Thundering Excitement
The Oklahoma City Thunder certainly bring excitement and energy to the court. The Thunder have been a fun team to see starting the season. But, the Thunder have won just 1 out of 3 home games so far this season. That was a 12 point win over the Pistons last week.
As a team, the Thunder are scoring 111.4 points per game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the top scorer for the Thunder. The guard is scoring just shy of 25 points per game. The big man, Chet Holmgren is off to a good start, playing just shy of 29 minutes per game, and scoring 15.8. The Thunder are looking to finish the season over .500 for the first time since going 44-28 in 2019-2020.
Oklahoma City is playing their fourth of a six-game home stand. The Hawks come to town on Monday, and Cleveland visits on Wednesday, before the Thunder are at Sacramento on Friday. The Oklahoma City Thunder standings spot will be one to watch as they can make a run at the postseason this year.
