⚡Pod Preview:
⚡No rest for the weary.
The Thunder have won five of six while surviving a tough road trip and earning the NBA Cup tournament's #1 seed for the West. But they sit just 1.5 games up in the regular season's #1 slot: a slip-up in Toronto tonight or in New Orleans on Saturday will make the tournament feel less like a fun run.
⚡Alex Caruso is back.
After missing 8 of 10 games, Alex Caruso will return from the hip ailment that has kept him sidelined. This time, he'll be playing alongside Isaiah Hartenstein, whose presence should better optimize Caruso's 110% energy exertion. Hopefully less time for Caruso matching up against the opponents' biggest players will mean less wear and tear and better shooting for the guard on the other end.
Prediction: OKC 113 TOR 109
