Prop Bets: Oklahoma City Thunder VS Golden State Warriors 2025-12-02
Thunder vs. Warriors: A Lopsided Laugher or a "Curse" Without Curry?
The Oklahoma City Thunder (20-1, 12-game winning streak) are here to rub salt into the Golden State Warriors’ wounds. With Stephen Curry sidelined (quad), the Dubs are 2-3 in his absence, and their "Big 3" now includes Jimmy Butler, Chet Holmgren, and… checks notes… hope? The Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), are a staggering -625 moneyline favorite, implying they’ll win by roughly 15 points. The spread is set at -11.5, and the total is 223.5—a number so low it makes you wonder if the Warriors’ offense will be shooting free throws in the second half.
Key Stats & Props to Mock:
- SGA’s Points Prop: Over 30.5 (-110). Let’s be real: SGA’s been scoring like it’s his job. Take the over unless you’ve never watched basketball.
- Butler’s Assists Prop: Over 5.5 (-164). Jimmy G. might finally break out of his "I’m not a playmaker" persona… or crumble under the pressure of being a $30M facilitator.
- First Basket: SGA is the favorite (-550), followed by Chet Holmgren (-600). The Thunder’s frontcourt duo could start the game like a Pixar movie—Incredibles 3: Chet & Shai Save the Day.
- Total Points Under 223.5: At +102, this feels like a gift. The Thunder allow just 106.7 PPG (4th in NBA), and the Warriors score 104.7 PPPG without Curry. This could be a boring 90-85 game… but at least the defense will get a workout.
Why the Warriors Should Pack It In:
- Curry’s Absence: The Dubs are 2-3 without him, scoring 104.7 PPG (60th percentile). Without "Clutch Steph," they’re basically the 2024 Knicks.
- Home Disadvantage: The Thunder are 10-1 on the road, while the Warriors are 8-8 at home. Golden 1 Center’s energy might as well be a sleeping pill tonight.
Final Prediction:
The Thunder win 112-98, with SGA dropping 32 and Chet grabbing 15 rebounds. Butler will have 18 points, 8 assists, and 0 dignity. Take the Thunder -11.5 and the Under 223.5—because even a 23-point win feels like a cover.
Bonus Prop Bet: Chet Holmgren Double-Double (+125). He’s a center. It’s not a prop—it’s a guarantee.
Final Score Prediction: Thunder 114, Warriors 96. Curry’s highlight reel? Empty. The Dubs’ hope? Even emptier. 🏀🔥
