The OKC Thunder will host the Atlanta Hawks at 7 p.m. CST Monday.
OKC (27-5) got back on track with a 129-104 home win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. Isaiah Hartenstein and Isaiah Joe (neck soreness) exited the game with injuries and did not return.
Atlanta (15-18) fell short in a 128-125 home loss to the New York Knicks on Saturday. The Hawks will be without Jalen Johnson (illness), while former OU guard and Norman native Trae Young is questionable (right quad contusion).

Thunder vs Hawks predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 124, Atlanta 103
Atlanta is on a six-game losing streak. And it’ll be without Jalen Johnson, who leads the team in points per game (23.7), rebounds per game (10.4) and assists per game (8.4). Kristaps Porzingis is also out, and Trae Young is listed as questionable. With so many injuries, I don’t see the Hawks having enough firepower to keep up with the Thunder. Give me OKC in this one.
