Despite an uneven start, the Thunder are about where they wanted to be at approximately 10% through the season. The standings and stats have OKC as a top-three team in the West, neck-and-neck with San Antonio and a notch below the Warriors. They're on a three game winning streak to boot. But, Kevin Durant is hurt. A 7-10 day absence from a strained hammy isn’t as alarming as a foot ailment would be, but a dinged up KD in 2015-16 is about the most major minor injury around. In their first full game without him, they cruised to a victory against the Sixers, but so has every other Philadelphia opponent this year.
