🧠 Top 3 Overall Best Bets

💰 Best Bet #1 Oklahoma City Thunder / Spread / -7.5 at -110 / 60% / Oklahoma City holds a strong home advantage at Paycom Center, with recent form showing dominant wins despite injuries; Golden State’s road trip start and key absences like Wiggins create a clear edge, supported by line stability and sharp money alignment.

💰 Best Bet #2 Over / Total / 227.5 at -110 / 55% / Both teams play at a high pace (OKC 102.5, GSW 101.8 possessions per game), with Curry’s return boosting GSW’s offensive rating (115.2) against OKC’s solid but injury-hit defense allowing 112.3 points lately; recent games average 228.5 combined points.

💰 Best Bet #3 Oklahoma City Thunder / Moneyline / -305 / 70% / As reigning champions with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading a healthy core (Holmgren back), OKC’s 8-2 home record crushes GSW’s 5-5 road splits, with implied probability (75%) undervaluing their 78% win projection from metrics.
