SAN FRANCISCO — The Oklahoma City Thunder (20-1) are taking on the Golden State Warriors (11-10) on Tuesday night for the second time this season.
The Thunder are currently on a 12-game win streak following OKC’s 123-115 victory against the Trail Blazers (8-12) in Portland on Sunday. It was a back-and-forth contest for most of the night, but the Thunder were able to pull away thanks to big performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (26 points) and Chet Holmgren (19 points and nine rebounds). In just his second game of the season after recovering from wrist surgery, Jalen Williams contributed 16 points and eight rebounds against the Blazers.
Now, the Thunder will face off against the Warriors in San Francisco tonight before heading back to OKC to host the Philadelphia 76ers (10-9) on Thursday.
In their first matchup of the season, the Thunder defeated the Warriors in OKC 126-102. Holmgren had 23 points and 11 rebounds on 9/9 shooting from the field. In only three quarters of playing time, SGA finished with 28 points and 11 assists. Despite the absence of 2025 All-Defensive 1st Team member Luguentz Dort, the Thunder were able to lock down the Warriors on the perimeter, holding Stephen Curry to just 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting from the field.
Dort will also miss tonight’s game against the Warriors due to a right adductor strain. Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein will also not suit up against the Warriors tonight, as the Thunder will have to look for ways to remain tough defensively despite the absence of three of the team’s best defenders.
The Warriors are also down several key players tonight, including Stephen Curry and Al Horford. Jimmy Butler is also listed as questionable for tonight’s game.
Below is the latest injury report for both teams as of 1 p.m. on Tuesday:
