The Golden State Warriors will host the OKC Thunder next in a battle of the top two teams in the Western Conference. Read on for our prediction of this big match.

The Warriors are coming from losses in their last two matches and will seek to immediately get back to winning ways. It is the first time this season that they have lost back-to-back matches. Steve Kerr’s men were outgunned 128-120 at home by the Nets last time out.

This two-game losing run has seen them lose hold of top spot in the West. The Warriors, who are averaging 117.7 points, have won 12 times in 17 outings this season. 

One of those wins was a 127-116 success over the Thunder in the first game of this season's series.

The Thunder have regained top spot in the West and will be eager to tighten their grip in this fixture. Mike Daigneault’s men have won their last two fixtures and are now one game clear of their hosts.

They are coming off a dominant 130-109 victory away to the Kings, which was their 13th win in 17 outings.

OKC dominated the Warriors last season and won three of their four regular-season matchups. They are averaging 115.2 points and have the second-best defensive rating.
