The Oklahoma City Thunder have won ten straight games, pushing its overall record to 25-5, sitting again as the Western Conference's no. 1 seed. Part of its success this season has been nailing the selection of no. 38 overall pick Ajay Mitchell. The rookie has been part of Mark Daigneault's rotation since opening night, and on Saturday, earned his first career start.
Down Chet Holmgren, Alex Caruso, Lu Dort and Cason Wallace, Oklahoma City only had ten active players against the Charlotte Hornets. It led to the Bricktown ballers being forced to shuffle its rotation - and starting lineup - against Buzz City.
