Peacock NBA Monday returns tonight, as the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers take center stage.

Thunder vs. Cavaliers Game Preview:

Oklahoma City Thunder:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder looked to be back to their championship form after starting the season with four straight wins, but injuries have plagued them and they come into this matchup against Cleveland losing two in a row.

With Chet Holmgren out for several weeks due to a knee injury, the Thunder turn to rookie big man Aday Mara to man the paint against Cleveland’s formidable inside presence of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Mara has been a force in the middle blocking eight shots over his last three games, but he’s only had double digits in points or rebounds once each this season. Can he fill up the stat sheet as OKC’s main big man?

With Mara filling in, the depleted Thunder will have to rely on SGA even more and it remains to be seen if he can return to his same scoring prowess we’ve become accustomed to. It’s still early in the season, but the two-time MVP is -only- averaging 26 points per game, while he’s averaged over 30 per game for the last four seasons.

Cleveland Cavaliers:

The Cavs enter this matchup having only lost two games on the season and those were by a combined 11 points.

While the Thunder have decimated by injuries, Cleveland’s core has remained on the floor for much of the season. That core has allowed the Cavs to remain balanced on offense through the early part of the season with four players — Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Mobley, Allen — all averaging at least 15 points per game.

All eyes will be on the superstars in this matchup as SGA and Mitchell battle to light up the scoreboard. Or will Mara steal the show and have his “welcome to the NBA” moment?
