The Thunder improve to 8–2, including 5–2 since starters Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace suffered long-term injuries in the same game on 25 October. Oklahoma City have now won nine straight meetings with Washington.
The Wizards fall to 4–6 with their third straight loss. The Thunder next visit Portland on Tuesday, while the Wizards visit Detroit on Monday.
