Just a few days ago last Thursday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the Washington Wizards in a battle that ultimately came down to Russell Westbrook vs. Bradley Beal. Westbrook outscored Beal 46 to 41, and the Thunder outscored the Wizards 121-112.

Since last Thursday, both teams have been dealt significant blows in the form of an injury. Oklahoma City lost Andre Roberson for the season when Roberson ruptured his left patellar tendon in the third quarter of the Thunder’s game against the Pistons in Detroit on Sunday, and John Wall has had ongoing knee pain, so he is doubtful to play for the Wizards.
