The OKC Thunder will host the Philadelphia 76ers at 2:30 p.m. CST Sunday.

OKC (26-5) is on a two-game skid following a 117-102 home loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Ajay Mitchell is available after missing the last two games due to concussion protocol.

Philadelphia (16-13) fell short in a 109-102 road loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday. The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid due to a sprained right ankle and right knee injury management.

Thunder vs 76ers predictions, picks

Justin Martinez: OKC 120, Philadelphia 105

OKC has lost four of its last six games, and it desperately needs a win to get back on track. I believe it’ll get exactly that when it hosts a Philadelphia team that’ll be without Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr., who’ve combined for an average of 38.6 points per game this season. Tyrese Maxey will have to take on an even larger scoring role, and OKC’s wealth of elite perimeter defenders should be able to cause some problems for him. Give me the Thunder in this one.
