Let’s find out right now if Steph and KD can get the payback they’re looking for against Russell Westbrook and Paul George.

Why Consider Betting on Oklahoma City?
Why should you consider backing the Thunder in this contest? Well, because they beat the hell out of Golden State the last time they met and have legitimate all-stars that are both playing at a high level right now. Oklahoma City has won two straight and three of four and is coming into this contest off a thrilling 110-107 win over Sacramento on Thursday night, but in reality, they needed a last-second 3-point buzzer beater from Russell Westbrook to beat the lowly Kings. “Got to find a way to get space with one second left,” Westbrook said. “They thought I was going for a lob. I just read the defender and tried to pop back and get some space.” The Thunder blew a 23-point lead and trailed 105-102 with 4 1/2 minutes remaining before closing the game on an 8-2 run. Paul George scored a team-high 26 points and Carmelo Anthony added 23 points while Westbrook scored 17 in the win while recording his 18t triple-double of the season by adding 15 rebounds and 11 assists.Team Statistics

Why Consider Betting on Golden State?
Why should you consider backing the Warriors in this matchup? Because they’ve got more all-star players, are playing at home and are highly motivated right about now! The Warriors have won three of four, including a solid 134-127 win over a feisty Los Angeles Clippers squad on Thursday night that saw Steph Curry go off for a game-high 44 points. The Warriors say they want to get on a nice roll before the start of the playoffs. Head coach Steve Kerr has changed starting centers, opting to go with athletic big man JaVale McGee of former starter Zaza Pachulia. “We’re a championship team. We’re not about to sit here and act like we’re this battered team that had a horrible season and we’re looking for any glimmer of hope,” all-star forward Draymond Green said. “I understand we haven’t been as great as most people expect. We’re still a damn good basketball team so we don’t need no `but it’s a step in the right direction.’ You may get that out of someone but I don’t really roll like that.”
Kevin Durant added 21 points in the win and Klay Thompson chipped in 19 in the win. “It takes a full effort. It’s not easy to win an NBA game, it’s really not,” Kerr said. “It takes the full 48. We’re not there yet.”
