LOSS for -5 unit(s)

Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors

Oklahoma City came away with a big overtime win last night in Portland and I expect a bit of a letdown following that. The Thunder have not alternated wins and losses in each of their last five road games and while tonight's game may seem like a relief after last night, that won't be the case. They picked up their 10th road win of the season last night which is the most in the Western Conference so while they have played well away from home, they are just 2-5 ATS this season when playing with no rest.

Golden St. is coming off an overtime game as well, but it lost at Sacramento and that was all the way back to Saturday. The Warriors had won three of four games prior to that, all of which came at home with the lone defeat coming against this same Oklahoma City team. Overall Golden St. is 6-7 at home but it does own some big wins against Chicago, Miami and Portland while three of those seven losses have been by three points or less so the record could very well be much better.

The loss against the Kings was the second straight game against Sacramento that the starters were benched because of a lack of effort and hustle. It was a message from head coach Mark Jackson basically telling his players get more competitive or don't play. Because that happened last game and there has been two days off since then, we can expect to see a much better effort. After that first game against Sacramento, the Warriors came back next game and blew out Utah with the starters scoring 98 of the 119 points.

While this is the second of a back-to-back for Oklahoma City, it is also the fifth game in seven days and there has been travel involved in every one of those days. Adding to the Warriors incentive is the revenge factor as they lost by 11 points in that last meeting no thanks to getting outscored by 17 points from the free throw line which is usually pretty unheard of for a home team. Golden St. is 4-1 ATS in its last five home games against teams with a road winning percentage of .600 or better. 10* (712) Golden St. Warriors

Indiana Pacers @ Miami Heat Tuesday May 22, 2012 8:00 pm
We saw something very similar last night with Boston as the home team took advantage of having a Game Five at home and thus took control of the series with a win. Miami is in the same spot tonight and after a very inspired effort on Sunday, I expect the Heat to ride that into Tuesday. ... read more

Philadelphia 76ers @ Boston Celtics Monday May 21, 2012 7:00 pm
This is a pivotal game for both sides as the winner of this game will have a big edge in the series with just one more win needed to advance. We had Philadelphia is Game Four and it was able to tie things up but now we will go the other way and take the Celtics which are in the best ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Sunday May 20, 2012 10:30 pm
We won with the Spurs on Saturday and we will go right back with them on Sunday. It was not a good day for the Staples Center home teams as the Clippers and Lakers blew a combined lead of 37 points and the former hurt the most as the Clippers are now down 3-0 in this series and you ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Sunday May 20, 2012 3:30 pm
We lost with the Heat in Game Three which was pretty much a must win spot for them and now this one turns into a definite one. A loss here and the series isn't over for Miami but it is pretty close so its needs to tie this one up before heading back home for Game Five. The Heat have ... read more

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers Saturday May 19, 2012 10:30 pm
The Lakers were able to climb back into the series last night with a win over Oklahoma City to pull to within a game. It will be short-lived though as these teams play again Saturday in the second of a back-to-back playoff set at Staples Center. It was obviously a must win for Los ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Saturday May 19, 2012 3:30 pm
This is a big weekend for the Clippers which would love nothing more than to sweep the two games played in Los Angeles to even up this series but it simply will not happen. They likely will not even win one of the games as they are clearly overmatched against one of the most efficient ... read more

Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Friday May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
We played on the Sixers Wednesday and they certainly came up small as Boston was able to grab back the home court edge after a home split in the first two games. This makes Philadelphia in a prime situation on Friday in a chance to even up this series at home. The Sixers were embarrassed ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Thursday May 17, 2012 7:05 pm
Miami let one get away in Game Two as the Heat lost at home to the Pacers and thus, lost home court advantage in this series. They need to get it back and it needs to be done here in the first game in Indiana because being down 2-1 with the possibility of being down 3-1 is not the ... read more
