Last season when these two teams faced off, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the series 3-1. The Thunder are currently on a three-game winning streak against the Nuggets, so that should hopefully give the Nuggets some motivation.

Many around the NBA believe the Nuggets and Thunder are the two best teams in the Western Conference, so tonight's matchup will be a great proving ground for both teams. Denver lost a major piece in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, while the Thunder mainly added great role players.

The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder face off at 10:00 p.m. EST tonight.
