Thunder's historic streak faces injury-riddled Blazers

The Oklahoma City Thunder are riding an impressive 11-game winning streak as they prepare to face the Portland Trail Blazers. The Thunder's recent victory against the Phoenix Suns marked the return of Jalen Williams, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander contributing 37 points and eight assists in the NBA Cup win.

In contrast, the Trail Blazers have been grappling with recent losses, including a 115-102 defeat to the San Antonio Spurs. Despite an efficient 37-point effort from Deni Avdija, the team experienced a significant performance drop-off.

The Thunder will be without Isaiah Hartenstein, Nikola Topic, and Thomas Sorber due to injuries, though Branden Carlson is available. The Trail Blazers are severely shorthanded, with multiple key players like Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson, and Damian Lillard out due to various injuries, while Donovan Clingan is questionable.
