The Thunder are in good condition. Can the Warriors Curry play?

The Thunder have performed very well this season, with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss in 11 rounds. Ranking first in the Western Conference with a 91% winning rate, the Thunder's only defeat this season was on November 6, 2025. The Thunder led by 22 points on the road and were reversed by Yang Hansen's Trail Blazers. Thunder 119:121 Trail Blazers, the Thunder's eight-game winning streak of the season ended, and the Trail Blazers gave the Thunder their first defeat of the season in an upset. After the Thunder lost, it attracted widespread attention from fans and the media. The Trail Blazers used their own strength to prove the team's technical and tactical level. You must know that the Trail Blazers rank seventh in the Western Conference with a record of 5 wins and 4 losses.

The Warriors' performance this season has also been poor, with 6 wins and 5 losses in 11 rounds, ranking eighth in the Western Conference, behind the Trail Blazers. Judging from the strength of the Warriors and the status of the players, it is reasonable for the Warriors to lose. In the preseason, the Warriors' record was not very good. They lost 5 games in the first 11 rounds of the regular season, and the team's star Curry was absent. In the 10th round of the league, the Warriors faced the Pacers. In Curry's absence, the team's Butler stepped up and scored 21 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Teammate Richard contributed 15 points and 3 rebounds. Post and Podemski jointly scored 28 points. Other players also performed well on offense and defense. The Warriors defeated the remaining Pacers 114-83.

Analysis of the team's winning probability on both offense and defense

The Thunder ranks first in the Western Conference. The team's offense and defense are the key to the team's 8-game winning streak. The only surprise was the loss to the seventh-ranked Trail Blazers, otherwise the Thunder would have easily won 11 consecutive victories in the Western Conference. On November 11, the Thunder faced the Memphis Grizzlies at home. Alexander was in hot form, contributing 35 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, helping the Thunder defeat the Grizzlies with a score of 114:100. Teammate Harten contributed 18 points and 13 rebounds, a double-double, Mitchell had 21 points and 6 rebounds, and Holmgren had 21 points and 7 rebounds. From the perspective of data analysis, these four members of the Thunder have excellent scoring and rebounding abilities, and are top-notch offensively and defensively. With the Thunder's player configuration and technical and tactical level, the Warriors have a great chance of winning.

The Warriors have performed poorly this season, ranking eighth in the Western Conference. In the last round of the game, the Rockets broke out and won to secure fifth place in the Western Conference. The Lakers, Timberwolves and Trail Blazers are all ranked in front of the Warriors. What are the chances of winning this game against the first-ranked Thunder? Curry missed the game against the Pacers due to physical reasons. Fortunately, his teammate Butler performed well and scored a triple-double with 21 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. The Warriors defeated the Pacers with a score of 114-83. If they lose, the Warriors' ranking will continue to decline. After all, Curry's role in the team cannot be replaced. This round of the Warriors' away game against the Thunder, the performance of Curry and Butler is crucial. I don't know if Curry can recover and play in this game. If Curry cannot play, the probability of the Warriors winning against the Thunder is not high.
