5. Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder might be the best-kept secret in the Western Conference. They have one of the most dynamic duos in the NBA in Paul George and Russell Westbrook, and the former is on pace to finish as one of the top two NBA MVP candidates this season.
Russ hasn’t been having a great shooting season, but is still one of the most feared point guards in the NBA – and is a walking triple-double whenever he takes the floor.
Could the Thunder finally be the threat that many expected them to be? Do they have enough fire power to take down a team like the Warriors?
