The Oklahoma City Thunder look to fulfill their destiny as the wire-to-wire best team in the NBA while the Minnesota Timberwolves are hoping to be vindicated in remaking their team for a long-term ability to contend. But that does mean contending for an NBA title, and first they must get past the conference finals.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the presumptive league MVP, goes against Anthony Edwards, the potential face of the league for the next decade. Whichever team prevails, they will be looked at as the favorites to win the NBA Title.
