Thunder May Get Steven Adams Back Tonight

The Orlando Magic, with one of the tallest lineups in the NBA, will be at The Peake tonight to take on the Thunder. At the moment the Thunder are without both centers Steven Adams and Nerlens Noel but Billy Donovan is hoping both will be available for the game tonight.

Adams practiced yesterday as he recovers from a bruised knee, Noel was held out because of a sprained ankle. Both players will be re-evaluated before tonight's game.

Both teams are 2-4 and both are playing pretty solid defense. The Thunder rank second or third in the NBA in several defensive categories including points allowed, opponent field goal percentage and opponent 3-point percentage.

The Magic meanwhile have had trouble scoring. They're averaging an NBA-worst 93.5 points per game and have yet to score 100 points in any game. Orlando's weakness would appear to play right into OKC's strength.

Tipoff tonight is set for 7:10 and you can see the game on Fox Sports Oklahoma.
