The Warriors opened 4–1 but have slipped to 11–10 and eighth in the West, leaning on defense as their 22nd‑ranked offense and 25th‑ranked rebounding lag. Steph Curry’s absence looms large, and a late surge over struggling New Orleans doesn’t signal a turnaround. Oklahoma City, the reigning champs per this source, are 21–1 with a 12‑game streak since a two‑point loss to Portland.
Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander often rests late due to big leads, while Jalen Williams’ early injury hasn’t slowed them. Chet Holmgren’s rise and bench punch from Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe show the Thunder’s depth, posing a daunting test for Golden State.
Game Details
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the centerpiece of Oklahoma City’s dominant start, averaging at a level that makes him the league’s second-leading scorer behind Luka Doncic. The Thunder’s 21–1 record has often allowed him to sit out fourth quarters, yet he still consistently posts high scoring totals.
With Jalen Williams sidelined for much of the season, Shai has carried an even greater offensive burden, supported by Chet Holmgren and a productive bench. His efficiency, usage, and ability to create offense in isolation make 30+ points a realistic expectation, especially against a Warriors team missing Steph Curry and struggling offensively.
Consistency on another level 🔥

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 20+ points in 93 straight games… the 2nd-longest streak in NBA history behind only Wilt Chamberlain!

The Warriors face a daunting challenge against the reigning champion Thunder. Golden State’s season started strong but has slipped to 11–10, with only two wins in their last six and Steph Curry sidelined. Their offense ranks just 22nd and rebounding 25th, leaving defense as their main lifeline. Oklahoma City, meanwhile, has been dominant at 21–1, riding a 12‑game win streak.
Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander is the league’s second‑leading scorer, often resting late due to blowouts, while Chet Holmgren and the bench provide depth. Given the Thunder’s overwhelming form and the Warriors’ struggles without Curry, Oklahoma City enters as clear favorites to extend their run.
