The Oklahoma City Thunder have a strong hold on the first seed. That's been the case for most of the season, with a double-digit game lead in the standings. There's been little drama for most of the year on whether they'll repeat as the top seed.
The Thunder return to action tonight when they host the Philadelphia 76ers. Both squads will rest most of their starters and top rotation players for differents. For the Thunder, it's to gain extra rest. For the Sixers, it's in hopes of keeping their top-six protected pick.
