The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Memphis Grizzlies in the Fexex Forum on Saturday. A contest between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the Western Conference, each side riding a four game winning streak, has lost its luster with the injury report.

When these two squads faced off in the Paycom Center, the Thunder practically played the Memphis Hustle instead of the Grizzlies. Tonight, the Thunder are resting Chet Holmgren on the second leg of a back to back, Cason Wallace and Ousmane Dieng remain out with injuries and Lu Dort is questionable with back spasms which popped up before Friday's clash with Toronto.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are as close to fully healthy as they have been this season with Desmond Bane's questionable tag the only rotational player who might miss the contest.
