The Golden State Warriors (25-24) look to keep the ball rolling when they visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (24-25) in one of eight NBA games slated for Monday, Jan. 30.

The Warriors enter tonight's action fresh off Friday's 129-117 victory over the Toronto Raptors, improving to 3-1 over their last four games. Meanwhile, the Thunder most recently picked up a 112-100 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, leaving them just 0.5 games back of the Western Conference's final play-in spot.

Can the Warriors pick up a rare road win? Or will the Thunder hit the .500 mark with a strong home effort?

Thunder vs. Warriors Prediction & Pick

Despite all of the ups and downs, the Warriors are still one of the best offensive teams. They're averaging 117.9 PPG (No. 2), which has a lot to do with their sinking 16.4 threes (No. 1) with a 37.9% success rate (No. 5). Fortunately for Golden State, the Thunder surrendered 12.3 threes (No. 21) on 36.1% shooting (T-No. 20) at home.

I also like the Warriors' odds of winning due to their being 8-3 in their last 11 trips to Paycom Center, having not lost on the road to the Thunder since November 2019. With Golden State also having the deeper roster and playing the more consistent brand of basketball lately, I see the Warriors being too much for the Thunder to handle.

Final Score Prediction: Warriors: 126 | Thunder: 120

Thunder vs. Warriors Best Bet

Stephen Curry enters tonight's game with a projected point total of 28.5. Fortunately for him, he's had a fair amount of recent success against the Thunder. He's averaging 30.4 points on .506/.475/.941 shooting splits in his last nine games against Oklahoma City, finishing with more than 28.5 in five of those contests.

With the Thunder's three-point defense being below-average at home, Curry should have plenty of success from distance, resulting in his hitting the over on his projected point total.

Bet: Stephen Curry — Points: Over 28.5 (-102)
