Lebron #Lebron
Oklahoma City will again be without its best defender as Lebron chases the scoring record.
Oklahoma City could be a part of history Tuesday night as Lebron James could break the scoring record.
The Thunder continue to push toward the All Star Break after a hot January, which ended with a loss to the Warriors. The Thunder continue to attempt to reach a .500 record as the season draws closer to the All-Star break.
The OKC injury report isn’t lengthy, but the missing players are key. Lu Dort is on the injury report for Friday’s game with a right hamstring injury, which will sideline him for the matchup. Aleksej Pokusevski remains out with a significant knee injury, which continues to sideline him.
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will once again be absent as he continues to nurse an ankle injury, but has made progress in his return.
OKC is no stranger to the injury bug as it has struck numerous times throughout the year.
The Thunder have looked better than many had expected entering the season, but will once again have a tough opponent to continue to fight in the Western Conference.
Anthony Davis is probable for the contest, but James is on the injury report with ankle soreness as he could break the scoring record if active.
Health and depth will be key factors in the matchup.
