Why the Thunder can cover

Oklahoma City is off to an excellent start during the 2023 portion of its schedule, going 9-4 through its first 13 games. The Thunder have won two of their last three contests and are coming off a 112-100 win against Cleveland on Friday night. Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reached the 30-point mark for the fourth consecutive game, finishing with 35 points on 12 of 21 shooting. 

He is averaging 30.9 points and 5.4 assists per game over his last 11 contests, and he has made at least 10 free throws on 21 occasions this season. Rookie Ousmane Dieng returned two games ago after missing seven weeks with a wrist injury, and he should continue to make more of an impact as he finds his role in the rotation. The Thunder have been the best team to wager on over the past three weeks, covering the spread at a 10-1 clip in their last 11 games. 

Why the Warriors can cover

Golden State has dominated Oklahoma City over the past few years, winning each of the last six meetings. The Warriors have also covered the spread at a 6-1-1 clip in their last eight games against the Thunder, and they have some momentum coming into Monday's tilt. They have won three of their last four games, including consecutive wins over the Grizzlies and Raptors. 

They could get two games above the .500 mark with a win on Monday night, which would match their high point of the season. Star guard Steph Curry scored 35 points and dished out 11 assists in the win over Toronto on Friday, marking his best performance since returning earlier this month from a partially dislocated left shoulder. Oklahoma City will be playing without its best defender in Luguentz Dort, who missed Friday's game against Cleveland with a hamstring injury.
