411 ON Thunder:   Oklahoma City has been one of the league's biggest disappointments due to injuries to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. But unfortunately for the Sixers, both players will be on the court tonight. This will be Westbrook's third game back after missing 14 with a right second metacarpal fracture. Friday will mark Durant's second game back after being sidelined the first 17 with a right foot Jones fracture. He scored 27 points in 30 minutes during his first game back. … So expect the Thunder to post their 11th consecutive series victory over the Sixers.
