The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Memphis Grizzlies at the Paycom Center on Thursday night. Oklahoma City is on a hot streak, having won seven straight games and nine out of their last 10. They\u2019ll look to keep that momentum going as they face a Grizzlies team that has won six of their last 10 games. However, both teams are dealing with injuries that could impact the outcome of the game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the Thunder, the availability of star forward Jalen Williams is uncertain for Thursday\u2019s game. Williams, who has been sidelined with a right hip strain for the last seven games, participated in pregame warmups ahead of Tuesday\u2019s win over the Sacramento Kings but was ultimately ruled out. He is listed as questionable for Thursday\u2019s game, but if he can\u2019t play, his next chance to return could be Saturday\u2019s game against the Indiana Pacers. Additionally, Cason Wallace is listed as questionable with a knee injury, and Oklahoma City will be without Aaron Wiggins (Achilles injury), Alex Ducas, and Ousmane Dieng for the contest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Grizzlies will also be missing a key player, as Ja Morant has been ruled out due to a strained left hamstring. This marks the sixth straight game that Morant will miss, and in his absence, Scotty Pippen Jr. will continue to start, with Luke Kennard expected to take on a larger role. Memphis has also ruled out Brandon Clarke, Marvin Bagley III, and Zyon Pullin for Thursday\u2019s game. Lamar Stevens, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury, has been upgraded to questionable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s matchup between the Grizzlies and Thunder will take place at 8:00 p.m. EST. Both teams will be looking to continue their strong play despite the challenges posed by these injuries. It promises to be an exciting game as both sides try to maintain their playoff positioning.<\/p>\n
