Thunder Lose Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace

The NBA’s opening week has already brought wild games, huge comebacks, injuries and a lot of early surprises. Houston is 4-0 behind Alperen Şengün, Kevin Durant, Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet. The Lakers are scoring at a ridiculous rate with Luka Dončić carrying a 42.3 usage percentage. Meanwhile, the defending champion Knicks are winless, and Oklahoma City lost Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace to major injuries. There are real warning signs elsewhere. Miami is struggling after trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Denver has two double-digit losses, and the Nets are 0-3 while Michael Porter Jr. and Julius Randle dominate touches. Early records can lie, but injuries to Edwards, Williams, Wallace, Jaren Jackson Jr. and others could reshape the season fast.
