Injury Report, Updated Odds (2/4): Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Toronto Raptors

The Thunder has the potential to capture a third straight win and maintain the top seed in the West on Sunday.

As things currently stand, the Oklahoma City Thunder is the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, yet Mark Daigneault would not be the head coach of the West All-Star team. Of course, this could change on Sunday, but the Thunder would have to take care of business against the Toronto Raptors and the Minnesota Timberwolves would have to lose.

The Thunder can only control as much as they can, and that means taking care of business against the 17-31 Raptors. This is the first matchup of the season between the two teams, as they won't face off again until later in March. 

This game is a big opportunity for the Thunder to capture its third straight victory after a two-game skid.

The Thunder has held their own without Williams or Joe in the lineup, though they're unquestionably a better team with those two players in the lineup. Fortunately for the team, they're still the more talented team on Sunday, despite missing the two key players.

Tre Mann is questionable after having his firstborn child on Saturday, which also happened to fall on his birthday. 

For the Raptors, missing the services of Barrett would make a noticeable impact, but nothing beyond that really changes the outlook of the game for them.

Updated Odds

Even with the Thunder missing its second option and key sixth man, the team is a 9.5-point favorite over the Raptors. Toronto is 7-18 in road games, and Loud City is no easy environment to travel to.

If the Thunder can establish itself defensively early, there's no reason they shouldn't come away with a home win on Sunday.
