Just a day later, the Thunder is in Portland on Sunday night where they will take on the Trail Blazers. The Blazers are going through it right now as they sit near the bottom of the Western Conference standings with a 3-9 record, but when you see their long injury report, you can understand why. OKC has had Portland’s number for the last two seasons with 8 straight wins against the Blazers, but 7 of those wins have been decided by single digits.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #13 Preview: Golden State Warriors
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.

OKC’s odds of clinching the 10th seed for the play-in spot are still pretty good. Dallas continues to lose, and it’s a good thing, too, because OKC can’t seem to beat even the teams they should be beating. With that in mind, I’m hesitant to think the Thunder even has a chance tonight, but I think they’re due for a cover, if not an outright win. The game is really going to come down to OKC playing solid defense, which they haven’t done a lot of lately until the second half against the Suns on Sunday. If the Thunder can at least slow down the Warriors, I like their chances at covering the spread.

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.

I’m not even going to lie: I’m taking the Thunder to win because I want them to win the game, not because I’m convinced they will. I definitely think OKC has what it takes to get the win, especially if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has another big game like he did on Sunday and the supporting cast performs well. Jalen Williams is questionable to play due to a sprained wrist, so that is a bit worrisome. Draymond Green is probable to play, but if he ends up sitting, the Warriors will be missing a key role on both ends of the floor. As of now, I’m sticking with the Thunder to cover and win.
