The Oklahoma City Thunder fell 95-87 to the Washington Wizards on Friday night to move to 0-2 on the season. The loss was a bad one for the Thunder considering wins could be few and far between this season, especially with a tough schedule early on.
Now, the Thunder is tasked with hosting the Golden State Warriors. This is the first time in Thunder franchise history that neither Russell Westbrook nor Kevin Durant will be apart of either roster, and while the Warriors are not exactly rebuilding, they do have some new faces.
The Thunder should be considered heavy underdogs against the Warriors, but don’t underestimate the home team on a Sunday afternoon.
