Thunder Storms Past Struggling Wizards in Undefeated Clash
30 Oct
Summary
- Oklahoma City Thunder undefeated at 5-0 this season
- Washington Wizards struggling at 1-3 record
- Thunder heavily favored despite key injuries
The Oklahoma City Thunder, currently undefeated at 5-0, are set to host the struggling Washington Wizards (1-3) in their sixth game of the 2025-26 NBA season. Despite facing key injuries, the Thunder remain heavily favored to extend their winning streak against a Wizards team that finished last in the Eastern Conference the previous season.
The Thunder have been the top team in the Western Conference, while the Wizards have had a more difficult start to the new campaign. Last season, the Wizards ended up as the 15th/last team in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Thunder were the dominant force in the West. As the two teams prepare to face off for the first time since their matchup back in January 2025, the dynamics between them remain largely unchanged.
The Thunder will be without the services of Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren for the upcoming game, but Isiah Joe has been marked as questionable for the first time this season. On the other hand, the Wizards' roster is mostly intact, with only Marvin Bagley III listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain. Despite this slight advantage, the Wizards are still expected to struggle against the in-form Thunder squad.
