Oklahoma City’s chances in Game 1 will depend on how much production it receives from the pair of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Those two All-Stars are racking up 52.9 points combined throughout this postseason. But other than scoring the Thunder, who are averaging 105.9 points collectively, have been winning games through their relentless attack on the boards. The team is currently third in the playoffs in that department with 46.2 rebounds per outing.

Golden State, meanwhile, will look to their start-studded trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to carry them to victory.

Curry, in particular, should garner most of the attention of OKC’s defense. Yes, the league’s first unanimous MVP has missed a few playoff games due to a knee injury, but he reminded the world in Game 4 of the Portland series that he’s just as deadly as ever. Curry made his return during that game and erupted for 40 points, nine rebounds and eight assists to lead the Warriors to victory. He is also tallying 24.8 points, 4.5 boards and 6.9 dimes across 24 career games opposite the Thunder.

OKC is 5-1 ATS in its last six road games. The defending champions, on the other hand, are 7-1 ATS in their past eight games at Oracle Arena.
