Teams Preview
Oklahoma City Thunder Preview
The Oklahoma City Thunder turned Friday's final road game of the regular season into a rest-and-evaluate opportunity against the Denver Nuggets, losing 107-127 with their key stars sitting out. With the No. 1 overall seed already clinched, coach Mark Daigneault gave Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams the night off.
In their absence, Branden Carlson stepped up as the team's leading scorer with 23 points. OKC used just an eight-man rotation and still fought back to trim a nine-point third-quarter deficit to two before Denver's reserves pulled away in the fourth.
At 64-17 and unquestionably the No. 1 seed in the West, the Thunder are built for a deep playoff run. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the charge with 31.1 PPG and 6.6 APG, cementing himself as the MVP frontrunner. Chet Holmgren anchors the paint with 8.9 rebounds and a league-leading 1.9 blocks per game, while Jalen Williams provides a versatile second scoring option.

At 44-37 and 7th in the Western Conference, the Suns are locked into the play-in picture heading into the postseason. Devin Booker remains their undisputed heartbeat 26.1 PPG and 6.0 APG with the ability to take over games at any moment.
