Thunder vs. Warriors: Predictions, picks, injury report for Thursday's regular-season game

The Golden State Warriors (6-6) will face the Oklahoma City Thunder (7-4) on Thursday night at Chase Center, but will be without several key players as they attempt to end their four-game losing streak.

Warriors' star player, Stephen Curry, did not participate in the team's recent 104-101 loss against the Timberwolves on Tuesday due to knee soreness after suffering a fall in Sunday’s game against Minnesota. Following an MRI which revealed no structural damage, the Warriors have confirmed that Curry will not be playing on Thursday. Curry has had a strong start to the season, averaging 30.7 points per game, and has an impressive 44.6% from the three-point line.

In addition to Curry, the Warriors will also be without Draymond Green. Green has been suspended without pay for five days after an altercation with Rudy Gobert during Tuesday's 104-101 loss to the Timberwolves. The NBA has deemed Green's actions as "unsportsmanlike and dangerous" after he put his arm around Gobert's neck.

On the other hand, the Thunder are coming off a 127-87 win against the San Antonio Spurs in an In-Season Tournament game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder to victory with 28 points, six rebounds and five assists. Rookie Chet Holmgren scored nine points, making three of his ten shots and grabbing seven rebounds, as well as providing three assists.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Golden State Warriors predictions

Winners and Whiners: Take the Thunder

Staff writes: "With Stephen Curry on the sidelines, I can only look at the Thunder. OKC has been solid on both sides of the ball so far this season, whereas the Warriors have surprisingly struggled to score. Golden State will be highly motivated to snap its skid, but there’s no way I’m going to back the Warriors after what I saw in their two games against Minnesota."

Pickswise: Warriors win

Staff writes: "The Thunder are 3-point favorites, and covering the spread has been a problem for them in games against Golden State. They’ve done so just 3 times in the last 13 meetings, while they’re 0-6 ATS in their last 6 at Chase Center. The home crowd will give the shorthanded Warriors a much-needed lift tonight, and it’s not often you can get them at plus-odds in a home game. I’ll take Golden State on the money line."

BETMGM: Thunder will win

Staff writes: "Based on recent trends, the winning team model predicts theThunder will win Thursday‘s game with 57.7% confidence, factoring in recent team & player performances for the Thunder and Warriors, plus player injuries and defensive & offensive matchups."

ESPN: Thunder has a 50.4% chance of winning

According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor, The Oklahoma City Thunder have a 50.4% chance of betting the Golden State Warriors in Thursday's matchup.

Pickdawgz: Take the Thunder

Staff writes: "The Oklahoma City Thunder are starting to find their groove with wins in 4 of their last 5 games, and they're also a profitable 8-3 ATS on the season. The Golden State Warriors are not only piling up the losses but playing at home hasn't helped much. Also, the Warriors will be without Curry due to a knee injury, while Draymond was just suspended for 5 games. That's two of Golden State's top players. The Thunder went blow for blow with a healthy Warriors team earlier this month. OKC should take advantage of an undermanned Warriors team."
