The Thunder welcome the defending champs in their final matchup of the regular season tonight in OKC. The Thunder, in the middle of the quagmire that is the West, are hanging on by a thread of Damocles to avoid falling completely out of playoff contention. Meanwhile, the Warriors are firmly locked into the 2nd seed as both Houston has pulled away and the Trail Blazers cannot make up the gap in time.
There are two big questions for tonight. While Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond green are all back in action (albeit less than 100% healthy), the Warriors will still be missing Stephen Currey for another few weeks as well as a number of key role players:
Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala, Omri Casspi and Kevon Looney all out tonight.
