The Thunder enter the game with a (25-7) home record while the Warriors are (28-5) on the road.

The Warriors are (9-1) in their last 10 games whereas the Thunder are (7-3). These teams are pretty evenly matched but Golden State holds a slight advantage in most of the major statistical categories. The Warriors have won four of their last five games against the Thunder. I expect this to be a very high scoring game with the two best offenses in the league going head to head. I like the Warriors to take this one on the road.
