The two top MVP candidates will square off in the first round of the Western Conference as Russell Westbrook and the sixth seeded Oklahoma City Thunder will face James Harden and the third seeded Houston Rockets.

Westbrook averaged a triple double during the regular season and recorded 42 triple doubles, the most in one season in NBA history. Harden has led Houston to 55 wins during the season.

This could easily be a seven game series. No matter who wins this series will still be remembered as a great team.
