Miami Heat: Preview vs the Russell Westbrook-less Thunder

The Miami Heat take on the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night on the second night of a back-to-back following a 93-75 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. The Thunder will be without star Russell Westbrook, serving a one-game suspension following his 16th technical foul of the season.

The Heat just wrapped up a five-game homestand, going 3-2 and maintaining their hold on the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. They currently hold a one game lead over the Orlando Magic in ninth and a two game lead over the Hornets thanks to their win on Sunday.
