As a result, they lead the Western Conference for the No. 1 seed by two games and a half games over the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, with seven games remaining, their top spot isn’t secure yet.<\/p>\n

That said, Oklahoma City is still taking a cautious approach as the season ends, resting some of their key contributors so that they’ll be ready for a deep playoff run.<\/p>\n

According to<\/a> NBA insider Clemente Almanza, the Thunder plan to rest both Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein against the Pistons.<\/p>\n

Given the injury concerns of both Williams and Hartenstein, Oklahoma City’s cautious outlook makes sense.<\/p>\n

Hartenstein has missed over 30 games this season with various injuries, having suited up in just 43 contests.<\/p>\n

Following a hand injury that he played through in last year’s playoffs, Jalen Williams has missed even more games for the Thunder.<\/p>\n

The one-time All-Star has suited up in just 30 games for Oklahoma City this season.<\/p>\n

As for the Pistons, they’ll be without plenty of top contributors as well, including starters Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris and Duncan Robinson.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Stewart also remains sidelined for Detroit.<\/p>\n

Following Monday’s game, the Thunder will host the Lakers<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n
