The Thunder (62-12) have won nine in a row. They enjoyed a blowout win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an efficient 33 points. OKC is now 27-1 against the East this season and on the verge of another historical marker.

Meanwhile, the Bulls (33-41) have been red-hot. They’ve won five of their last seven games. They lost a heartbreaker to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. Matas Buzelis led the way with 28 points despite the defeat. This will also be Josh Giddey’s first game back at OKC since he was traded last offseason.

Both teams have been hit pretty hard by the injury bug. Plenty of starters’ status is unknown.
