I typically avoid including multiple players in a same-game parlay — preferring to rely on one — but the schedule and significance of this matchup make it an exception.
Neither the Golden State Warriors nor the Oklahoma City Thunder are on the back end of a back-to-back, and both teams have tomorrow off for Thanksgiving.
Considering that, and the fact this is a showdown between the top two teams in the Western Conference, I anticipate both squads will push the minutes of their star players — something they haven’t needed to do often this season due to their dominance in blowout wins.
Stephen Curry is listed as questionable, but he's appeared on the injury report in recent games and still played. Curry consistently elevates his game against the Thunder, and no one will forget his iconic double-bang, deep 3-pointer in Oklahoma City.
While the Thunder have an elite point-of-attack defense, Curry always finds ways to score because, let’s face it, he can shoot from anywhere, and his teammates excel at creating space for him.
If the Thunder are going to walk into Golden State and secure a road win, it will undoubtedly be on the backs of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. While the Thunder boast a strong, defensively sound team, their offense heavily relies on SGA and Williams to create, especially with Chet Holmgren out due to injury.
Similarly, Golden State has several players capable of locking down their assignments and disrupting OKC's secondary scorers. This could force the Thunder to lean even more heavily on their superstars for offensive production in this matchup.
With both teams showcasing elite defenders across multiple positions, I fully expect them to rely on their marquee players for offense in this heavyweight clash.
