Oklahoma City Thunder
Like the Rockets, the Oklahoma City Thunder are led by a star.
With Kevin Durant gone, this is Russell Westbrooks team and he has not disappointed yet. So far this season Westbrook is averaging a triple double. He has scored 31 points, 11.3 assists and 10.9 rebounds per game. If Westbrook ever gets hurt, the Thunder will have a hard time winning games.
