The Oklahoma City Thunder face significant challenges following Chet Holmgren's pelvic fracture, which leaves them without all three of their centers. As they adapt to a small-ball strategy, the team has managed to secure victories against the Los Angeles Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans.

Looking ahead to a crucial matchup against the Phoenix Suns, the Thunder must contend with size disadvantages while maintaining their defensive integrity. The absence of Kevin Durant for the Suns adds another layer to this high-stakes game.
