Back to basketball for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After an eight day layoff, the ninth day brings NBA Playoff basketball back to Bricktown in Round 2 against the Denver Nuggets.

This will be a high pressure series for the OKC Thunder who are the favorites entering the best of seven set and have youngsters put in spots that they aren't overly accustom to. Oklahoma City has to try to buck NBA norms with this series win, overcoming youth and inexperience against a battle-tested core.

This season is littered with storylines and high drama. From Russell Westbrook's return to MVPs facing off with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic going toe-to-toe.

Game 1 will be paramount for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Not only to protect home court and set a tone for the series, but to take advantage of the lack of rest from the Nuggets after they finished off their Round 1 series against the Clippers in Saturday's Game 7.
