Two of the highest-scoring point guards in the league will look to lead their respective teams to a victory on Monday night when the Charlotte Hornets visit the hometown Oklahoma City Thunder.
Following a two-game absence from Nov. 29-Dec. 1 because of a left shoulder contusion, Kemba Walker has recovered nicely with averages of 24.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.8 steals over his last four outings for Charlotte. The seventh-year veteran has also been magnificent at the line with a career-high 5.5 free-throw makes per game this campaign (T-10th most in league).
Now in his 10th season with the Thunder, reigning NBA MVP Russell Westbrook continues to be one of the league’s most prolific statistical producers.
