It will be interesting to see if the Rockets decide to rest players like Chris Paul and James Harden or if they gun for the victory in an effort to try to claim the second seed or retain the third seed.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Seemingly in free fall since the All-Star break, the Thunder have struggled to maintain their success. At one time most pundits thought the Thunder would give the Warriors their greatest challenge in the playoffs, but it wasn’t expected that would come in the first round of the playoffs.
Last week the Thunder got back on track defeating the Lakers, Pistons, and Wolves to climb from eighth into sixth. This game more than any other could control how deep the Thunder make it this postseason. A win would help them retain the sixth seed with just one game left versus the Bucks who’ll no doubt play a skeleton lineup on Wednesday. ‘

Moreover, a win over the Rockets could also help the Blazers secure the third seed and thereby align them to play the Thunder in the first round.
Which would bode well for OKC who swept Portland this season and would also help them avoid the Warriors until the Conference Finals should they win their series.
