OKC Thunder vs Golden State Warriors preview

The OKC Thunder have come off a challenging five-game stretch, which included two losses to the Dallas Mavericks. However, their performance against the Portland Trail Blazers shows that, with Isaiah Hartenstein back in the starting lineup, they can get back on track.

With Hartenstein in the lineup, the Thunder have posted a remarkable 22-2 record. Despite Chet Holmgren still being sidelined, they continue to lead the NBA with the best overall record, as well as the top defensive and net ratings.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have faced difficulties, winning just 11 of their last 31 games. They are coming off a 114-103 win against the Utah Jazz, which moved them a game above .500.

Steph Curry was absent from that game but is expected to return tonight. With Curry back and the Warriors’ bench contributing 51 points in their recent victory, it will be interesting to see how they perform against the Western Conference leaders.
