Harkless is expected to play Sunday in Oklahoma City, the Magic's official site reports.

Analysis:

The Magic have welcomed back Glen Davis, Tobias Harris, and Nikola Vucevic from their respective injuries in recent weeks, which has had the side effect of variable minutes for Harkless. Coach Jacque Vaughn wants to involve Harkless due to his success against the Thunder last year, when he averaged 18.5 points (on 59.3 percent shooting), 5.5 rebounds, five steals, two blocks, and 1.5 treys in 38.5 minutes across two tilts. Although Harkless won't see a similar workload Sunday, he seems poised to surpass the 23.1 minutes per game that he's logging on the season.
