The Thunder became the third team in NBA history to start back-to-back seasons 7-0 and the first to do so since the 1993-95 Rockets (did it three times)! Oklahoma City is still without Jalen Williams, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has carried the load with top-three usage rates and points per game marks to start the season.
The Clippers have some uncertainty surrounding their lineup tonight as Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal are listed as questionable. This is the second night of a back-to-back as Los Angeles lost to Miami 120-119 yesterday. As load management continues to take over the NBA, there is no telling how this game shapes up with two of the three best players for the Clippers possibly out.
