Giddey is thriving as a floor general on the third-fastest team in the league, and Chicago (33-42) is 11-9 since the All-Star break. It's now 10th in the East with a strong chance of reaching the play-in tournament.

With the general manager position rapidly becoming commonplace in college basketball, two Oklahoma City scouts have been tapped to fill open roles.

Cincinnati Bearcats basketball has a new general manager to direct personnel and recruiting efforts. Corey Evans comes from the NBA's OKC Thunder.

There are a lot of pieces that factor into the success the Oklahoma City Thunder could see in the postseason. It starts with the efficiency of Shai Gilgeous-Ale

"We don't care not one bit about any of those records," Shai Gilgeous-Alexander told The Athletic's Anthony Slater. "They mean something, but in the grand scheme, they don't. We're after one thing and one thing only. That's what’s on our mind. Everything else we don't care about."

It's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder against Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls on Monday night at Paycom Center.

In a recent mock draft published by Bleacher Report, the Thunder pick 21st overall and select Danny Wolf from the University of Michigan.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are eight wins away from becoming just the third team in NBA history to hit the 70-win threshold in the regular season. They would need to be a perfect 8-0 down the stretch to pull off the feat, however, and the odds for them doing so are pretty long.
