*8* ANNIHILATOR on Golden State Warriors.

The Oklahoma City Thunder appeared to be primed to come into Golden State off a big road win over the Clippers. Oklahoma City went into the fourth quarter with a 22-point lead, but they were outscored 35-13 in the final frame, suffering a heart-breaking loss. Such a loss is tough to come back from under any circumstances, but on the road against the defending champions, perhaps impossible.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Thunder have been slumping, coming into tonight's game as losers of five of their last seven overall. The Warriors on the other hand have won six straight, and still look good to set the all time single season win record. The home team is 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.

2. Home Cookin' - The Warriors are 25-0 at Oracle Arena, and with or without reigning MVP they are a well deserved home favorite. They've won four straight home meetings with OKC since 2010, covering the spread in three of those four games. The Thunder are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games.

3. X-Factor - The Thunder are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Selection: This is a play on the Golden State Warriors (8*)
