Conclusion:

More from Thunderous Intentions

Despite the temptation to feel otherwise, this game against the Wolves is pivotal to the Thunder’s playoff aspirations. On one hand, winning breeds winning, so the match itself is important. On the other, it gives Donovan the chance to build on defensive intensity and potentially explore more alternative line-ups. That should give Thunder fans a tantalising prospect ahead for the night.

Plus, another chance for Westbrook to give his closing remarks on his MVP campaign. We could be in luck for more triple-doubles, because #whynot?

Prediction:

Thunder win and Westbrook notches another triple-double
