The Oklahoma City Thunder continue a lengthy homestand when they welcome the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. It’ll be the first of two matchups this season between the two squads.
It’ll be a contest of two of the three best offensive-rated teams in the league this season, so expect a large number of points to be scored.
The Thunder (45-19) enter the contest with one major player on their injury report. After exiting OKC’s blowout win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Jalen Williams (ankle sprain) is questionable.
Ousmane Dieng (G League assignment), Keyontae Johnson (G League two-way), Olivier Sarr (G League two-way) and Adam Flagler (G League two-way) are out.
Meanwhile, the Pacers (36-29) will be without a couple of role players. Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder labral tear) and Doug McDermott (calf strain) are out.
Oscar Tshiebwe (G League two-way), Isaiah Wong (G League two-way) and Quenton Jackson (G League two-way) are all questionable.
The Thunder have won three in a row. They hold a small lead for first place in the Western Conference standings. Meanwhile, the Pacers picked up a crucial win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
Tip off from Oklahoma City is set for 7 p.m. CT.
