The Golden State Warriors (32-30) head to Paycom Center to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (49-15) on Saturday, March 7, tipping off at 8:30 PM ET on ABC, with both teams dealing with lengthy injury reports that somehow make this game more interesting than a 14.5-point spread suggests. Golden State is clinging to the eighth seed in the West while riding a mini-wave of confidence after Thursday's 115-113 overtime win at Houston, their first road win over the Rockets since last year's Game 7 playoff thriller. OKC has won four straight and seven of eight, sitting comfortably atop the Western Conference with the best record in basketball. The Thunder swept all three meetings this season by margins of 24, 12, and 37 points (that last one at Chase Center, where Golden State's largest home defeat this year was a 131-94 stomping on January 2). Steph Curry remains sidelined since January 30 with a knee injury, Jimmy Butler is done for the year after ACL surgery, and Kristaps Porzingis is questionable after missing six straight with a mysterious illness. On the OKC side, Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso, and Isaiah Hartenstein are all ruled out, stripping the Thunder of their second-best creator, their best perimeter defender, and their starting center in one fell swoop. The total sits around 219.5 to 220, and this is one of those games where the outcome is never really in question but the margin, the prop lines, and the individual performances tell a much better story than the final score.
