On February 23, Beijing time, the NBA regular season ushered in a heavyweight matchup, and the Thunder sat at home to face the Clippers. The Thunder previously had a 37-17 record and ranked second in the West, while the Clippers had a previous record of 36-17 and ranked third in the West. The Clippers have won 33 of their last 43 games and once topped the West, while the Timberwolves and Nuggets all have a more than 80% chance of securing a top-four finish in the West, with the difference only being the internal standings. But truth be told, because the Lakers and Warriors are stuck on the brink of the play-offs, the first or second place in the West is not very good, after all, the Timberwolves and Thunder lack playoff experience.
