Hartenstein has been one of Oklahoma City's most reliable contributors this season. The 27-year-old center is averaging 12.2 points while shooting 67.1 percent from the field, along with 10.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

The defending champions continue to dominate the league. Oklahoma City enters Saturday riding a franchise-record 16-game winning streak and holds a 24–1 record overall, matching the 2015–16 Golden State Warriors for the best start through 25 games in NBA history.

The Thunder also received additional help earlier in the week. Luguentz Dort returned from a right adductor strain, while Alex Caruso was back in action after recovering from a right quad contusion, both contributing to Wednesday's quarterfinal victory over Phoenix.
