(My Sportsbook) - The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to stop a six-game road losing streak Saturday when they close out a short trek against the Golden State Warriors at ORACLE Arena. The Thunder opened the two-game road swing with a 140-118 loss at Phoenix on Friday, as Leandro Barbosa scored a career-high 41 points to lead the Suns past Oklahoma City, which has lost four in a row overall. Kevin Durant had 35 points and eight rebounds to pace the Thunder, who are 3-23 as the visitor this season. Durant recently dropped a career-high 47 points in a setback to the New Orleans Hornets. Russell Westbrook had 19 points and Jeff Green tallied 10 points and 14 rebounds in a losing cause. Golden State will wrap up a five-game homestand this evening and had its three-game winning streak stopped with a 129-121 loss versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Stephen Jackson totaled 24 points, six boards and nine assists for the Warriors, who are 3-1 on the residency and 14-13 in Oakland this season. Corey Maggette had 24 points off the bench before fouling out, while Jamal Crawford scored 23 points in defeat. Anthony Randolph ended with 14 points and 12 rebounds for Golden State. The Warriors may be without forward Kelenna Azubuike tonight since he is listed as questionable with a bruised left knee. Jackson, meanwhile, is averaging 26.6 points in February. Oklahoma City is 2-1 against the Warriors this season and won the last meeting, 122-121, on January 21 at ORACLE Arena. Golden State has won 10 of the last 15 matchups between the teams.
