OKC got its top scorer back this past weekend with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returning to the lineup on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

As of this writing, Oklahoma City has a clean injury report aside from rookie Chet Holmgren, who is OUT for the year.
Atlanta Hawks
The big storyline in Atlanta right now somehow is even worse than any health and/or trade rumors surrounding John Collins.
Trae Young missed the team’s last outing—a win over Denver—due to what the team originally reported as shoulder soreness. But as it turns out, the absences stemmed from a disagreement with head coach Nate McMillan. I won’t break down the details here, but you can find them easily on the Googles.
Trae is expected to play in Monday’s game, but this team has a lot to figure out off the court despite its fourth-place standing in the Eastern Conference.

Free Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Prediction:
The Thunder have a little momentum here, and they have their best player back in the lineup.
Atlanta has also won two straight SU, but they’re tough to trust right now.
Chalking this one up as a Hawks win SU seems like an easy call. ATS, though? I’m taking the road dogs.
OKC keeps this one close.
