The matchup of the night in the NBA takes center stage in Oklahoma City, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
Despite missing Jalen Williams (wrist), the Thunder have been red-hot to start the season, boasting the NBA’s No. 1 net rating and a 10–1 record. They stormed back from a double-digit deficit on Sunday to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies on the road.
Golden State also picked up a much-needed win on Sunday — a 114–83 blowout over the Indiana Pacers — to climb back above .500. The impressive part? They did it without Curry, who was sidelined due to illness. Good news for Warriors fans: Curry is not listed on the injury report and is expected to return for tonight’s clash in OKC.

Best NBA Prop Bet: Chet Holmgren Over Rebounds
Thunder big man Chet Holmgren could be in line for a big night on the boards against a Warriors team that ranks 19th in rebounding percentage.
Holmgren is averaging 8.6 rebounds per game, and while he’s gone over this line in just three of his past seven outings, Golden State’s smaller lineups could open the door for him to dominate inside.
In his last five matchups vs the Warriors, Holmgren has grabbed eight or more rebounds in three games — a solid trend for bettors looking to back the Thunder forward. Expect him to bounce back after a few quieter games.
Game Prediction: Bet the UNDER (228.5)
Even with Curry back, this matchup could turn into a defensive slugfest.
- The Warriors rank sixth in defensive rating.
- The Thunder lead the league in scoring defense, holding opponents to about 106 PPG.
Despite their offensive star power, Golden State sits 20th in offensive rating and hasn’t topped 120 points since early in the season. Meanwhile, OKC plays at a slow pace (22nd in the NBA) — a perfect recipe for the UNDER.
Pick: UNDER 228.5 (-112 at DraftKings)

Fanzoid Verdict
Spread: Lean Thunder (-?)
Total: UNDER 228.5
Best Prop: Holmgren Over Rebounds
Expect a tight, low-scoring battle between two Western Conference contenders. Curry’s return adds spark, but OKC’s defensive edge could be the difference on home court.
