Injury Report: Thunder's Lu Dort back for Pistons matchup
The Oklahoma City Thunder (20-35) take to the road to take on the Detroit Pistons (16-39) to avoid their ninth straight loss.
Jerami Grant, a surefire candidate for the Most Improved Player Award who scores a team-high 22.6 points per game for the Pistons, is listed as out for the matchup.
Thunder defensive stopper Lu Dort has been removed from the injury list and should be good to play against Detroit. He scored 42 points on 11 three-pointer in his last game. He is averaging 13.3 points and 3.6 rebounds this year for OKC.
Guard Hamidou Diallo, who was sent over to Detroit in exchange for Svi Mykhailiuk, averages 9.9 points and 4.4 rebounds for the struggling Pistons.
The Thunder-Pistons matchup will have major draft implications.
