For the first time in a while, the Thunder will be mostly healthy. Gilgeous-Alexander returns from a one-game absence. He should have fresh legs against the Heat. The schedule-makers did Miami zero favors with this being the second night of a road back-to-back. Williams mentioned it recently, but expect OKC to come out extra motivated and return to its principles. This should be an easy win for the reigning NBA champions, considering the talent gap.
Prediction: Thunder 115, Heat 103
