The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. With all eyes on this game, one of the last before a league-wide hiatus for Turkey day, the Thunder will look to start 2-0 on this road trip.

Fresh off a win over the Kings, riding a two game winning streak, the Thunder will seek to carry that momentum to this tilt on ESPN. The Warriors are reeling from a head scratching loss to the Nets, looking to get the car back on the road.

ODDS:

The Thunder enter the day as 2.5-point favorites to/against the Golden State Warriors, and the total over/under is 227.5 points.

KEYS TO THE GAME:

Isaiah Hartenstein has gone 2-0 in his Thunder era including back to back double double outings. The Thunder will need another double-double out of their seven footer for that winning streak to move to three games.

Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have to continue their jaw-dropping scoring stretch in this contest against the Golden State Warriors.

A role player has to step up. No matter if it is Isaiah Joe or Lu Dort catching fire from 3-point land, Cason Wallace coming alive or anything in between Oklahoma City needs to help their stars.
