As always, AK broke everything down for you in his game preview thread, so make sure you check it out if you haven't already.
Dwight Howard is going to sit again tonight, and Trevor Ariza will make another start at power forward according to Jonathan Feigen:
Trevor Ariza to start at four for third consecutive game tonight. After that will be interesting with Leonard, Durant ahead on road trip.
