The Oklahoma City Thunder travel on the road to face the Golden State Warriors on Friday. This will be the third matchup of the season between the two squads. OKC won the first two as the most recent victory was on Dec. 2.
The Thunder (29-5) have won three in a row. They returned to their dominant ways in a 124-95 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an efficient 30 points in three quarters.
Meanwhile, the Warriors (18-16) have won five of their last six games. A much-needed stretch for the veteran squad. They collected a 132-125 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Stephen Curry had 26 points in his annual homecoming.

Thunder 123, Warriors 111: Considering Golden State’s injury report, it feels like they’re punting on the first half of this back-to-back. You can feel their old age through the television screen in their matchups against the Thunder. The latter is just too quick and athletic to keep up with. Of course, all eyes will be on Curry. If he plays, the Warriors will have a fighting chance. If not, the Thunder should continue to be in a groove as they’ve regained their confidence. Either way, OKC should come away with the win. Gilgeous-Alexander always gets up for these prime-time games against the former NBA dynasty.
ODDS: Thunder by 9.5 points
