Oklahoma City and Cleveland enter tonight’s 7 p.m. ET matchup on Peacock with matching 4-2 records, but the Thunder arrive after consecutive losses, most recently a 119-98 defeat at Houston. Injuries to Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso leave Oklahoma City shorthanded, increasing the pressure on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander while giving Donovan Mitchell and Cleveland’s offense opportunities against a depleted defense.
