(Sports Network) - The much-improved Oklahoma City Thunder will try to stretch their winning streak to a season-high three straight games when they play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday from the Ford Center.

The Thunder have won two in a row and three of their last four games, including Friday's 102-94 victory at Memphis thanks to Kevin Durant's 32 points and 10 rebounds. Russell Westbrook added 23 points, seven assists and six boards for Oklahoma City, which will put its 6-5 home record on the line Sunday night.

"We still have a long way to go," Durant said. "But we came out and fought hard in the fourth quarter against a great team and got the win."

Nenad Krstic registered 15 points and Jeff Green finished with 11 points in a winning effort.

The Central Division-leading Cavaliers, meanwhile, are coming off Friday's 104-99 home victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in which superstar LeBron James posted 33 points, seven rebounds and seven assists to lead the way.

Anderson Varejao had a season-high 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Cavs, who improved to 9-2 on their home floor this season. Shaquille O'Neal ended with 14 points and 11 boards before leaving the game in the third quarter with a left eye contusion. O'Neal is questionable for Sunday.

"Andy was terrific, he was a part of that group (in the second half). He was the recipient of a lot of drives, good movement and dishes to him. Defensively, he brought energy, physical toughness, a physical presence and made Aldridge work for his shots. You're not going to be able to stop him, but you at least want to make someone like that work for his shots and Andy did that," Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown said of Varejao.

Mo Williams chipped in 14 points and dished out a season-high 10 assists in a winning effort. The Cavs hope to build on their 7-5 road mark tonight.

Cleveland took both meetings with Oklahoma City a year ago and has won four of the last six in the series. The Cavs have dropped 14 of the past 17 road matchups with the Seattle/Oklahoma City franchise.
