OKC Thunder vs. Washington Wizards [1/12]: Updated Injury Report, Betting Odds

The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen a bounce back game against the New York Knicks end the possibility of a losing streak and instead give OKC a chance at a winning streak if they can take care of the Washington Wizards.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have two stops left on their Eastern Conference rroad swing, including tonight against the Washington Wizards. The OKC Thunder should be able to dominate this game, with a clear talent differential on their side.

Washington has its top players at their disposal compared to a short handed Oklahoma City team, but even so the talent gap is vast in favor of the Thunder. The Wizards can be fun to watch, with Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Keyshawn George and Bilal Coulibaly in the fold, but that offensive eye candy has not translated to winning.

So long as OKC avoids sleep walking in the Nation's capitol, the Thunder will parlay Friday's win into two, and look to close out the Eastern Conference swing on a three game winning streak if they take care of business against the 76ers Tuesday.
