The Thunder (37-8) enter the contest well-rested. They're fresh off a two-day break. Last time out, they collected a win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 35 points and Isaiah Hartenstein returned from a five-game absence due to a calf strain.

Chet Holmgren's hip injury leaves a significant gap in the Oklahoma City Thunder's lineup. Despite his absence, the team remains atop the Western Conference with a 37-8 record but faces challenges, especially against strong opponents like the Warriors.
