Western Conference
No. 1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs. No. 4 Denver Nuggets
- Regular-Season Record: Thunder 68-14/Nuggets 50-32
- Regular-Season Series: Thunder-Nuggets 2-2
- Offensive TRACR: Thunder No. 2/Nuggets No. 4
- Defensive TRACR: Thunder No. 1/Nuggets 19th
- Overall TRACR Rank: Thunder No. 1/Nuggets No. 8
- Projected Winner (Win Probability): Thunder 88.6%
The Thunder will win because… defensive wins championships. It took all of seven games for the Nuggets to beat the Clippers, but the Thunder were just waiting patiently to see who their next victim will be. The Thunder knew they’d have a rest and talent advantage over either team.
