Novak has appeared in just one of the Thunder's 11 games this season.

Analysis:

Novak appears to be locked in as the Thunder's 14th man, as both he and Josh Huestis have regularly been inactive this season. Though the Thunder had Novak active Monday with both Kevin Durant (hamstring) and Andre Roberson (sidelined), Novak failed to take the court. That should be fairly common for the veteran three-point threat, who will likely only see minutes when the outcome of the game has been decided.
