The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Miami Heat on Sunday. This will be the first matchup of the season between the two squads.
The Thunder (32-7) mounted a 21-point comeback in their 117-116 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Jalen Williams had his best game of the season with an efficient 26 points and 10 assists.
Meanwhile, the Heat (20-18) dropped a bad 123-99 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. Tyler Herro had 21 points. Getting blown out by arguably the worst team in the league is never a good sign.
This is the healthiest the Thunder have been in a while. Isaiah Hartenstein (soleus strain) is out. Nikola Topic (testicular surgery) is out. Thomas Sorber (torn ACL) is out.
Because they’re on a back-to-back, the Heat have yet to submit their injury report. We’ll keep an eye out for that. That said, Terry Rozier (not with team) is out.
