Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 12/2/25, 7:12 PM  by Paul Tamayo in NBA Picks

The Oklahoma City Thunder (20-1) visit the Golden State Warriors (11-10) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Tuesday, December 2, at the Chase Center. 

The Thunder bring the league’s best record into San Francisco and will try to extend their 12-game winning streak against a Warriors team still playing without Stephen Curry.

Oklahoma City is coming off a 123-115 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, holding their opponents to only 39.3% shooting from the field. The defending champions have produced the best defensive rating in the league so far (104.9), bolstered by the recent return of All-Star forward Jalen Williams.

Golden State, meanwhile, is trying to build momentum in the middle of a long homestand. The Warriors are coming off a 104-96 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, a game where Jimmy Butler III posted 24 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds.

However, this is still a team that has lost four of their last six games. They'll also miss the services of Curry, Al Horford, and De'Anthony Melton on Tuesday.

For the Thunder, key players Alex Caruso, Luguentz Dort, and Isaiah Hartenstein won't play against the Warriors. But they still have their two star players (Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) and a well-oiled system on both ends.
