The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday at 5 PM CT. This is the only NBA game in action all day as the league attempts to move out of the way of the NFL on Championship Sunday.

Which, still does not make a ton of sense given how the lone matchup takes place in the heart of the NFL action including the Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills contest.

Oklahoma City should be able to take care of the lesser Portland Trail Blazers in this game - especially as the Thunder get healthy.

Isaiah Hartenstein being the biggest returning member to the OKC Thunder lineup. Isaiah Joe and Ousmane Dieng returned from their illnesses. Cason Wallace, after leaving the last game with a nasal fracture will be back in action on Sunday against Portland.
