In game seven of the Western Conference Finals the three seed Oklahoma City Thunder will be on the road to take on the one seed Golden State Warriors. The series is tied (3-3) after Golden State pulled out a narrow road victory in game six. Game seven will be played on Monday, May 30th, at 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time. “The Crowd” projects a final score of Warriors 108.3 – Thunder 102.5 with an over/under of 210.7. The Vegas Line has a final score of Warriors 112.5 – Thunder 105.5 with an over/under of 218.

Golden State delivered an incredibly impressive road win in game six and have been nearly unbeatable at home this season. Oklahoma City has to feel demoralized after blowing two chances to close out the defending champions. I think the Warriors will win game seven and set up a rematch of the 2015 NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
