The Oklahoma City Thunder are rolling in the Western Conference, having won 11 consecutive games.
As a result, they continue to put pressure on the San Antonio Spurs in the race for the No. 1 seed.
With 11 games remaining, the Thunder lead San Antonio by three games, inching closer to clinching the top spot in the conference.
In their last two games, Oklahoma City has defeated their opponents by a combined 50 points.
During their rest day Sunday, the team received encouraging news surrounding the injury status of one of their stars.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Jalen Williams will return for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers after missing the last 16 games due to injury.
Apart from Thomas Sorber who suffered a season-ending ACL injury, the Oklahoma City injury report is clear.
Philadelphia on the other hand, will be without plenty of their main contributors.
Starters Tyrese Maxey and former MVP Joel Embiid have been listed as out.
Kelly Oubre Jr. will also be unable to suit up due to a left elbow sprain.
Dominick Barlow is listed as doubtful, after picking up an ankle injury in Saturday's win against Utah.
Barlow played just four minutes before sustaining the injury.
Following Monday's game, the 76ers will host the Chicago Bulls Wednesday.
As for the Thunder, they'll travel to Boston for a highly anticipated matchup Wednesday against the Celtics.
