The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to take on the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night for the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. This will be the second time these two teams have faced off in cup play, as the Thunder beat the Suns 123-119 in group play. 

OKC is looking to win its first-ever NBA Cup, as it fell short last year in the Championship against Milwaukee.  Although the cup isn’t the Thunder’s main goal for the season, this Oklahoma City squad has got to have a chip on its shoulder to finish the job this year. 

With the Thunder being the top seed in the West and having won 15 games straight, there’s no doubt that they are the team to beat. The question is, who, if anyone, is the team that could give the Thunder trouble? Here are three teams the Thunder could play, and what issues they might or might not cause.Â
