Washington Wizards vs. Oklahoma City Thunder preview, Digi Mart USA News (Atlanta, Georgia): The Washington Wizards play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night, Nov. 7, at 8 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

The game will be broadcast by Monumental Sports Network and can be heard on The Team 980 AM and 106.7-2 FM.

Injury report: Reece Beekman, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins are out for Washington. Anthony Davis and Tristan Vukcevic sat out Saturday’s game, and it remains to be seen whether they will play Sunday.

For Oklahoma City, Nikola Topic, Thomas Sorber, Cason Wallace, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are out, and Jaylin Williams is sitting out the game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Pregame notes: The Wizards were set to fly from Atlanta to Oklahoma City on a red-eye flight. The Thunder were 6-2 before facing the Grizzlies.

Oklahoma City had won two straight games against the Cavaliers, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 42 or more points in each game.

Washington now has a point guard who can produce points in Trae Young, but the Wizards face a difficult task, especially if Anthony Davis misses the game because of an ankle injury. The source notes that a potential upset would be worth watching if Davis is able to play.
