The Miami Heat make the first visit to the young, up and coming Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder have won 7 of their last 10 games and sit in 4th place of the competitive Western Conference. Bosh and Wade are game time decisions, likely to sit out with nagging soreness and injuries which sets up the Heat to be beaten at their own game of speed and athleticism. It will take complete focus and execution on both sides of the floor to defeat the hungry youth movement led by Westbrook and Durant.
All-Star forward Kevin Durant leads the league in scoring with 28.8 PPG while LeBron James trails with 26.1 PPG.
