The Oklahoma City Thunder head out West for a brief 2-game road trip, beginning with a stop in San Francisco against the Golden State Warriors. OKC enters 2026 with a 3-game win streak and the best record in the NBA. Meanwhile, the Warriors have struggled to an 18-16 record, but they have won five of their last six games.
It’s wild to think that the Warriors were NBA Champs just a few seasons ago, and now they’re a double-digit underdog to the Thunder. Golden State is a shell of its former self, and they’re not even in a Play-In spot in the Western Conference standings right now. OKC is coming off two days of rest, while the Warriors are playing in the second game of a back-to-back. The Thunder is as healthy as they have been in a while, and while Stephen Curry should be expected to play tonight, Golden State is still likely without Draymond Green or Jonathan Kuminga. I’m taking OKC to cover.

Week 3 was full of plenty of ups and downs for the Oklahoma City Thunder. After a historic 7-0 start that featured a 12-point or more margin of victory in each game, OKC finally dropped a 2-point decision to the Nuggets in Denver. They dominated Orlando and Houston at home, but they lost in two ways on Sunday night with Chet Holmgren going down with a bad injury before losing to Golden State 127-116. Still, there was plenty to take away from week of four games, so let’s dive in.

“There’s a certain seriousness it takes to win in this league. And there’s a certain fear you have to instill in teams in order to win. I just don’t know if they’re instilling that fear in teams with all the bromance and stuff after the game.” That’s what Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green had to say almost two weeks ago concerning the Oklahoma City Thunder and their group postgame interviews. Now, the Thunder hosts the Warriors in a battle of two of the top teams in the West.

I keep expecting OKC to be in closer games, but aside from the Denver game, they keep winning by double digits. Golden State is coming off an embarrassing blowout loss to Cleveland, so I expect they will be have a renewed energy. This one is going to be a fourth quarter battle.

It’s not even been 48 hours since the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Golden State warriors 128-109, and now it’s time to do it all over again. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey had solid all-around games, and Isaiah Joe had the hot hand as he knocked down 7-of-7 threes, but just because OKC won big on Thursday doesn’t mean a repeat is bound to happen tonight.

Not much has changed in the last couple of days since the Thunder handily defeated the Warriors 128-109. Cason Wallace is questionable for OKC with a sprained right shoulder, but the Warriors are still missing Steph Curry (strained right knee) and Draymond Green (suspension) as well as Gary Payton II (strained left foot).

Now the Thunder turns their attention to a 3-game road trip that begins with two games against the Golden State Warriors in a three-day span. The Warriors are in a rough stretch of 4 straight losses, and it’s probably not going to get any better any time soon as they are without Steph Curry due to a sprained knee. Draymond Green is also out for the next 5 games as he serves a suspension for his involvement in a brawl with the Minnesota Timberwolves where Green placed Rudy Gobert in a chokehold.

The Warriors are missing Steph Curry to injury and Draymond Green to suspension. They’re a very different team without those two guys, and it’s not a very good one. Add to it that Golden State is on a 4-game losing streak all while OKC is playing some really good basketball, and the Thunder should be able to pick up a decent win on the road before facing the Warriors again on Saturday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder continued their struggle down the final stretch of the season as they fell to the Phoenix Suns 128-118 at home on Sunday evening. The Thunder showed promising signs of being able to compete with the league’s best, but with just a few games left, OKC has yet to clinch a play-in spot. They could do that tonight as they head out on the road to take on the Golden State Warriors.
