The Oklahoma City Thunder continue their season-high five-game road trip when they face the Indiana Pacers on Friday. It’s the second matchup of the season between both squads.
The Thunder (52-24) hope to avoid their first three-game losing skid of the season. They’ll likely have to do it without their top two players for the third straight game.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad contusion) is out. Jalen Williams (ankle sprain) is doubtful. Ousmane Dieng, Keyontae Johnson, Olivier Sarr and Adam Flagler are on assignment in the G League and are out.
Meanwhile, the Pacers (43-34) could be without their starting center. Myles Turner (finger sprain) is questionable. Bennedict Mathurin (labral tear) is also out.
Oscar Tshiebwe, Isaiah Wong and Quenton Jackson are questionable. They have been on assignment in the G League, but the season ended on Tuesday for Indiana’s G League team.
The Thunder lost a grueling back-to-back capped by a 35-point loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.
In their last outing, the Pacers lost to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Indiana hopes to avoid the play-in tournament.
Tip off from Indiana is set for 6 p.m. CT.
