The Thunder have had the best record in the Western Conference for most of the season. They will look to bounce back after the Denver Nuggets ended a seven-game winning streak of their own on Monday.

This matchup will feature the seventh-best scoring team in the league (Celtics, 116.9 points per game) against the fourth-best (Thunder, 119.7 points per game). They also rank No. 1 and No. 2 in turnovers per game (11.8 for the Thunder, 11.9 for the Celtics).

This game will have a playoff-like atmosphere, knowing that they're the odds-on favorites to represent their respective conferences in the NBA Finals this season.
