The Oklahoma City Thunder will play the Washington Wizards at home on Friday to complete their back-to-back. The Thunder will look to extend their current three-game winning streak.
Both teams enter relatively healthy in this contest. The Thunder won’t have Ousmane Dieng (G League assignment) and Adam Flagler (G League two-way), who are both out. Lindy Waters III (G League assignment), Olivier Sarr (G League two-way) and Keyontae Johnson (G League two-way) are all questionable.
Meanwhile, the Wizards won’t have Isaiah Livers (hip joint capsule inflammation), who is out. Jules Bernard (G League two-way) is also out.
The Thunder (38-17) are on the second night of a home back-to-back to start the post-All-Star break portion of their season.
On the first night, they picked up a critical win over the LA Clippers in a blowout that rewarded them with the head-to-head tiebreaker. This could prove to be vital as both teams fight it out the rest of the season in the standings.
Meanwhile, the Wizards (9-46) are quickly catching up for the worst record in the league. Washington has lost nine in a row. Its latest was a 20-point defeat to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday in the first night of its road back-to-back.
Tip off from Oklahoma City will be at 7 p.m. CT.
