Sometimes you have to back an ugly underdog when the spot is right in the NBA. That's the case in this matchup.
Oklahoma City is 0-3. The Thunder were blown out by the Jazz and Rockets during their first two games this season. They improved in their last game, a 12-point home loss to the 76ers. They are getting good scoring from guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and rookie Josh Giddey. Those two will be motivated to go against Stephen Curry.
But the basis of this handicap is a fade on the Warriors, who are fat and happy with a 3-0 mark. This is their best start since 2015-16.
The Warriors are on the road for a second straight game. Following this matchup they return to the Bay Area to begin an eight-game homestand. So you have to wonder about their focus as it's a definite letdown spot for the Warriors.
