The Thunder travel to Charlotte on Saturday with the league’s best defense and a 12-1 record. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just dropped 30 points and nine assists in a blowout win over the Lakers, while Isaiah Joe added 21 off the bench.

The Hornets, 4-7, are still chasing their first playoff berth in nine years. They gave up 147 points in an overtime loss to Milwaukee despite 32 each from Miles Bridges and rookie Kon Kneuppel. With Oklahoma City chasing history and Charlotte struggling to get stops, the Thunder enter Spectrum Center as heavy favorites to keep their run going.
