Just one of the Oklahoma City Thunder's biggest separating differences from other teams around the NBA is ability to have several lineups that rank as the most

The narratives around the Oklahoma City Thunder this season has predominantly fallen back on the play of MVP candidate, and the league's leading scorer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Needless to say, that's fair in many respects.

With the NBA trade deadline a week away, let’s look at three deals the Thunder could make. And emphasis on could.

As January comes to a close — with a 10-3 record to this point — OKC was afforded a unique week of rest entering Wednesday's game at Golden State.

The 76ers squared off with the Knicks in Philadelphia in a matchup without Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns.

The Knicks (27-15) scored the first eight points of the overtime en route to outscoring the Sixers, 16-10, in the extra session. Former Villanova standout Jalen Brunson scored eight of his game-high 38 points in overtime.

When everyone is healthy, there will be backcourt minutes to be had, and the 76ers can cut their losses on this scuffling season by giving them to younger players with upside.

Kirby Dach scored twice and the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Utah Hockey Club 5-3 on Tuesday night. Mike Matheson, Patrik Laine and Cole Caufield also scored for Montreal, which has won eight of its last 10.

Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 32 points, nine assists, and two steals. Williams finished with 24 points, six assists, four rebounds, and three steals. 76ers forward Justin Edwards’ 25 points and Jeff Dowtin Jr.’s 18 points led Philly off the bench, while Guerschon Yabusele’s 17 points and seven rebounds led the starters.

While regular season games can begin to feel monotonous during an 82-game NBA season, Oklahoma City is using each opportunity to improve.

The Philadelphia 76ers made a bit of a shocking roster move on Sunday morning when they assigned the young veteran forward Ricky Council to the Delaware Blue Coats. It’s been quite some time since Council collected minutes in the NBA G League.

With the OKC Thunder boasting one of the best defenses in NBA history, how many members of the franchise should make an All-Defensive team?
