    Thunder vs. Warriors prediction, picks

    Justin Martinez: OKC 116, Golden State 112

    As usual, Golden State has a high-scoring three-point shooting attack led by Stephen Curry. But the biggest reason for the strong start is the defense, which has improved significantly. Still, OKC’s defense is better. And if this game turns into a shootout, I have more faith in the Thunder stopping when it counts with guys like Lu Dort, Alex Caruso and Chet Holmgren. Give me OKC right now.
