What to Watch for

Can Everybody Eats conquer the Thunder’s defense?

The Thunder come into Sunday’s game with the best defensive rating in the league, limiting teams to 101.4 points per 100 possessions, even though they’re missing Andre Roberson, one of their best defenders.

The Thunder have been great everywhere on the defensive end, but they’ve been exceptional at forcing turnovers without sacrificing defensive positioning. They average a full steal more than any other defense in the league,

That means Washington’s pass-happy offense will need to be even more careful than usual on Sunday. They’ve only committed 11.8 turnovers per game over the last four contests. They’ll need to preserve as many possessions as they can to give themselves a shot on the road where they’re just 4-17 this season.
