The Oklahoma City Thunder will have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs with game one set for Saturday April, 28.

OKC will face either the Dallas Mavericks or the Denver Nuggets inside the Chesapeake Arena depending on how the final games of the regular season pan out Thursday night.

Oklahoma City would play Dallas with either a win by Denver at Minnesota or a loss by Dallas at Atlanta. The Thunder would play Denver if Denver loses and Dallas wins.

Game time for Saturday's playoff opener has not been released.

The Thunder locked up the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference on Wednesday behind the top seeded San Antonio Spurs.
