Isaiah Hartenstein missed the first month with a fractured hand — and now will miss at least a week with a calf strain. The Thunder are back to their small-ball era. The gap between Holmgren's injury and Hartenstein's return lasted over a week in Nov.

The Cavs snapped Oklahoma City’s franchise-record 15-game win streak at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Thunder will look to avenge that loss without Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren, who’s missed the past 29 games due to a pelvic fracture.

Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein will be reevaluated in approximately one week after suffering a left soleus strain.

Although the Thunder have experience in using their small ball lineup, this matchup may prove to be a bit more difficult.
