In their first season apart, former teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are thriving as they prepare to face off for the second time on Wednesday night (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/WatchESPN).
Durant has emerged as the most valuable player on a Golden State Warriors team that won 73 games last season and is off to an even better start in terms of point differential. Meanwhile, Westbrook is merely averaging a triple-double for the Oklahoma City Thunder and is a leading contender to win his first NBA MVP award.
