OKC Thunder vs Brooklyn Nets: Key matchups

Jalen Williams vs Cameron Johnson

Both starting power forwards are multifaceted athletes who contribute to their respective teams in multiple ways.

Williams, who was named an All-Star for the first time this season, can hurt opponents from all over the perimeter. Johnson, whose 3-point shooting has been on an upswing over the past two years, stretches the floor and gives wider driving lanes for his teammates.

Cason Wallace vs Keon Johnson

Wallace is averaging 44.6% from the field off 6.8 attempts, while Johnson is putting up 10.0 points per game. If either player has a spectacular shooting nigt, their contributions could go a long way.

Shai-Gilgeous Alexander vs Killian Hayes

Hayes is in the process of getting acclimated to his new surroundings in Brooklyn after the former lottery pick didn't quite pan out with the Detroit Pistons. He will have to bring his A-game on both ends of the floor against the Thunder, as Gilgeous-Alexander (32.4 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 6.2 apg) can take over games.
