Thunder vs Raptors injury report, prediction: Is Chet Holmgren playing tonight?

OKC Thunder forward Chet Holmgren’s status is up in the air for a road game against the Toronto Raptors at 6:30 p.m. CST Tuesday.
Holmgren is questionable due to low back spasms, and so is Alex Caruso (left ankle sprain). OKC (44-14) also continues to be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal strain), Jalen Williams (right hamstring strain) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominal strain and left ankle sprain).
Meanwhile, Toronto (34-23) will see the return of Scottie Barnes. The All-Star forward did not play in a 122-94 road win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday due to personal reasons.

Thunder vs Raptors predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: Toronto 114, OKC 112
OKC earned a statement win over Cleveland on Sunday despite being without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell and Alex Caruso. But a key contributor was Chet Holmgren, who’s now listed as questionable due to low back spasms. There’s a chance he doesn’t suit up on what marks the first night of a back-to-back stretch. And if that’s the case, it’ll be tough to beat a Toronto team that’s playing some good basketball this season. Because of that uncertainty, I’m going with the Raptors at home.
