Vegas Play of the Day: Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Oklahoma City Thunder plus-7 at Golden State Warriors: $880 to win $800

I don’t know if Oklahoma City is going to be able to do more than force this Western Conference Finals to six or maybe even seven games, but I do think the Thunder will make this uncomfortable first. Not win, mind you, because Golden State is nearly unbeatable at home, and I don’t see ineffectiveness/age suddenly biting the Warriors the way it did the San Antonio Spurs.

Oklahoma City made great adjustments to take down San Antonio, but Golden State is a different animal because it will punish the Thunder defense for any little bit of space it gives up. The Spurs couldn’t take advantage of that, but the Warriors will. Eventually. Tonight I think it’s going to be a battle that Golden State only manages to win by a few points.
