Raptors Visit Struggling Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Toronto Raptors at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Wednesday.

It has been a rough second half for OKC (42-29), as the team has gone just 5-9 since the All-Star break. The Thunder currently owns a three-game losing streak, with its most recent loss coming to the Miami Heat. OKC was without former MVP Russell Westbrook, who was serving a one-game suspension for exceeding the NBA's technical foul limit. With Westbrook gone, the Thunder seemed lost offensively, shooting just 43 percent from the floor and 27 percent from three-point range. Even with Westbrook, things have been trending downwards in OKC. The Thunder is averaging just 106.7 points per game in the month of March while giving up an average of over 110. With Westbrook back in the lineup on Wednesday, OKC will hope to turn its luck around.

The Raptors (50-21), on the other hand, have been enjoying smooth sailing recently. Toronto is 4-2 in its last six games and is fresh off a 128-92 demolition of the New York Knicks. The Raptors find themselves in rarified company, ranking in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive rating this season. Toronto's success has been a top-to-bottom team effort, as six Raptors' players are averaging double-digit scoring this season. Leading the way is star forward Kawhi Leonard, who is putting up a career-high 27.1 points per game. Leonard rested on Monday but is expected to be back to face off against Paul George and the Thunder on Wednesday.
