The Oklahoma City Thunder travel on the road to face the Utah Jazz on Friday. It’s both squad’s first game back from the All-Star break. This will be the third matchup of the season between the teams. OKC won the first two with its latest win on Jan. 22.
The Thunder (44-10) will look to bounce back from a scheduled loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves last Thursday. They looked exhausted in the final game before the All-Star break as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an inefficient 24 points.
Meanwhile, the Jazz (13-41) have been one of the worst teams. Last time, they dropped an overtime loss to the LA Clippers last Thursday. Kyle Filipowski had 20 points and 10 rebounds.
The Thunder enter the healthiest they’ve been all season. Only Nikola Topic (torn ACL) and Ajay Mitchell (toe surgery) are out.
Meanwhile, the Jazz are without a starter. Collin Sexton (ankle sprain) is out. Taylor Hendricks (fibula fracture) is out. KJ Martin (return to competition condition) is questionable. Oscar Tshiebwe (G League two-way) is out. Micah Potter (G League two-way) is out. Elijah Harkless (G League two-way) is out.
Tipoff from Utah is set for 8:30 p.m. CT.
