Randy’s Pick
The Oklahoma City Thunder have already lost 2 of their first 3 home games, and now they're going to be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Golden State Warriors don't have a single player on their injury list for this game. The Warriors have also won 9 of the last 10 games against OKC and are 7-2-1 ATS in those games. Line is reasonable. I'll lay the chalk with the Warriors, especially with the Thunder down their best player.
