The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to begin its Round 2 matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The OKC Thunder have had a long layoff, having not played since last Saturday as they swept the Memphis Grizzlies in Round 1.

Now, the 68-win Thunder welcome the Denver Nuggets into town for Round 2 after the Nuggets ousted the LA Clippers in a Game 7 just 48 hours ago.

However, this series has some of the best storylines, highest drama and best hoops on the board of Round 2. It could go down as the best series of the entire NBA Playoffs.

From Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander battling it out after back-to-back seasons as the top two finishers in the NBA MVP race, to Russell Westbrook returning home and the championship pedigree vs. the new kids on the block.

Luckily, this series will be played straight up as each side enters the second round as healthy as can be. The lone injuries to report for either side are a pair of rookies who are redshirting this season due to injuries suffered last summer.

This allows both Western Conference Contenders to be at full strength to play a heads-up series agianst one another. One that could very well go the distance in this best of seven series.

It all begins on Monday, May 5 inside the Paycom Center at 8:30 PM CT.
