The Thunder have lost two games in a row to the Mavericks and Rockets amid their long list of injuries. With their shortage in the backcourt, they are playing rookies Bennett Stirtz and Josh Dix off the bench. With Caruso still out, the two will likely see some minutes once again.
As for Watson, he is questionable, so there is still a chance he plays against OKC. Watson is averaging 10.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in his first six games for the Cavs. However, he has seen his production take a sharp dip of late. Over his last two games, he has scored just nine total points, while going 3 of 14 from the field.

If Watson is unable to go, Mario Hezonja could be in line to make his first start as a Cavalier. The former No. 5 overall pick is averaging 7.5 points and 5.2 rebounds off the Cavs bench.
