The Oklahoma City Thunder hosts the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. This is the season's second matchup between the squads. Last time they met, OKC did just enough to get a win over Charlotte on Dec. 28.
The Thunder (57-12) have won four in a row. They destroyed the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday with several top players out from both sides. Jaylin Williams had his second triple-double and Aaron Wiggins scored 26 points.
Meanwhile, the Hornets (18-51) have fallen in the standings. It's a familiar spot they've found themselves in. They beat the New York Knicks on Thursday and travel to OKC on the second end of a back-to-back. LaMelo Ball led the way with 25 points and eight assists
The Thunder will be without a couple of key starters. Jalen Williams (hip strain) is out. Lu Dort (hip impingement) is out. Cason Wallace (shoulder strain) is questionable. Ousmane Dieng (calf strain) is out. Ajay Mitchell (toe sprain) is out. Nikola Topic (torn ACL) is out.
Meanwhile, the Hornets have yet to submit an injury report. Expect it to be lengthy though. They've dealt with injuries all season and would prefer a loss to improve their lottery odds.
Tipoff from Oklahoma City is set for 7 p.m. CT.
