Sunday 1 p.m. EDT – Memphis at Oklahoma City: Kevin Durant is clearly the second best player in the league. If he still had James Harden (sixth best but playing for Houston) and Russell Westbrook (seventh best, injured) then OKC would have a better trio than the Heat and a real chance at the title. Unfortunately, without those two they appear to have an uphill battle even to get past the Memphis Grizzlies, without a single edge going through the second through eight best players on the respective teams.
