Thunder and 76ers Meet in Philly
The Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night.

The Thunder (52-22) are in an enviable position in the Western Conference, as they entered Monday's action with a half-game lead for the No. 1 seed and with three wins in their last four games. Their most recent success came Sunday, when they notched a thrilling 113-112 win over the New York Knicks that officially clinched OKC's postseason spot. Jalen Williams led the Thunder with 33 points, complementing them with eight assists, four rebounds, two steals and two blocks. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander furnished 19 points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal. Josh Giddey recorded a 16-point, 13-rebound, 12-assist triple-double that included two blocks and one steal.

The Thunder will list Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) and Williams (ankle) as questionable for Tuesday's game.

The 76ers (40-35) are in nowhere near as good a position as their opponent, but they do currently have possession of the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference and are coming off a high-scoring 135-120 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday evening. Kelly Oubre Jr. led the 76ers with 32 points, adding seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks. Cameron Payne furnished 24 points, three assists and one rebound. Tobias Harris delivered 21 points, nine boards, three assists and three blocks. Nicolas Batum registered 19 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals. Buddy Hield finished with 13 points, three rebounds, three assists and one block. Kyle Lowry generated an 11-point, 10-assist double-double that included one rebound, two blocks and one steal.

The 76ers will list Tyrese Maxey (hip) as questionable for Tuesday's contest. Joel Embiid (knee), Robert Covington (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (back) will remain out.

Tuesday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The 76ers hold a 1-0 series lead.
