Oklahoma City Thunder (51-11) and Portland Trail Blazers (28-35) will face off at the Paycom Center on Friday night. The Thunder will be shooting for a win to cement their top position in the Western Conference. They sit comfortably on top of the standings, 11.0 games ahead of the in-form Lakers and Nuggets. However, Mike Daigneault will be keen to avoid any complacency and back the No. 1 seed in the conference for the second straight season.

Portland Trail Blazers, on the other hand, have seen a turnaround of their fortunes recently. Their resurgence hasn't gone unnoticed, with Chauncey Billups nominated for the Western Conference Coach of the Month for February. The Blazers are 5-5 in their last 10 games, although they are coming off some challenging assignments against Cleveland and Boston. They are certainly an exciting underdog in this matchup.
