The Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to face the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The Thunder continue their three-game road trip. This will be the first matchup of the season between the two squads.
Last time out, the Thunder (2-0) survived another double-overtime game. They collected a 141-135 2OT win over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 55 points. He turned into Superman to carry a short-handed OKC squad.
Meanwhile, the Hawks (1-1) had a thriller on Friday in a road-and-home back-to-back. They collected a 111-107 win over the Orlando Magic. Trae Young had 25 points, which included six points in the final 46 seconds for the nail-biter victory.
Two games in, but the Thunder have quite the lengthy injury report. Jalen Williams (wrist surgery) is out. Chet Holmgren (back soreness) is questionable. Cason Wallace (knee sprain) is questionable. Alex Caruso (concussion) is out. Isaiah Joe (knee contusion) is out. Kenrich Williams (knee surgery) is out. Nikola Topic (testicular surgery) is out. Thomas Sorber (torn ACL) is out.
Meanwhile, the Hawks haven’t submitted their injury report yet. It’ll be interesting to see if Zaccharie Risacher and Kristaps Porzingis will suit up. Both missed their close win over the Magic on Friday at the start of this back-to-back.
Tipoff from Atlanta is set for 6:30 p.m. CT.
