The Oklahoma City Thunder will welcome the Washington Wizards at home, Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on Thursday, October 30. The Thunder, who entered the NBA 2025-26 season on the back of a historic campaign last year, are currently undefeated in their title defense. In their previous game, they handed a 107-101 defeat to the Sacramento Kings, and the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander-led side would aim to continue its winning streak.

The Washington Wizards, on the other hand, kicked off the campaign with a blowout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. While they quickly bounced back to record their first win, and defeated the Dallas Mavericks, the CJ McCollum-starring side couldn’t keep up with their momentum. In the very-next game, they fell to the Charlotte Hornets. Currently 1-3 in the season, Wizards head into the Thursday-night game on the back of a 139-134 defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Even though it seems challenging, the Wizards would aim to add another victory to their tally and take the Thunder down in their own backyard. However, irrespective of how the results turn out to be, fans are up for an entertaining night in the NBA. Having said that, let’s get into the injury reports and predicted starting lineups for both the teams.
