(Sports Network) - With playoff seeds still unsettled in the jumbled Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder will try to solidify their postseason spot when they open a three-game road trip tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wachovia Center.

Oklahoma City is currently tied with Portland for the sixth seed in the conference standings, with San Antonio lurking a half-game behind in the eighth and final postseason slot in the West. The Thunder just went 2-2 on a four-game homestand and had a two-game winning streak halted following Sunday's crucial 92-87 defeat at the hands of the Trail Blazers.

MVP candidate Kevin Durant registered his 22nd double-double of the season with a game-high 29 points and 13 rebounds for the Thunder, who got 14 points from Jeff Green and 12 points out of Russell Westbrook.

"Both teams had trouble getting into an offensive rhythm," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "Give them credit, they came out and made a few plays down the stretch that gave them a chance to break the game open."

Serge Ibaka recorded 10 points off the bench in the loss, Oklahoma City's fourth in the previous seven contests. Despite their loss to Portland, the Thunder own a 20-7 record dating back to January 29th. The .741 winning percentage during this span is the fifth best in the NBA.

The Thunder will also visit Boston and Dallas, and are 20-15 as the guest.

Philadelphia will shoot for its third win in a row Tuesday, and is coming off back-to-back wins over playoff-caliber teams in Milwaukee and Atlanta. In a 105-98 triumph versus the Hawks on Friday in south Philly, Andre Iguodala finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead the charge. He is averaging 18.8 points in his last nine games, but is questionable for this evening because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Rookie Jrue Holiday added 13 points, 12 assists and seven steals for the Sixers, who have not won consecutive games since a season-best five-game winning streak from January 31-February 9. Jason Kapono, Elton Brand and Samuel Dalembert each scored 14 points in the win.

"We've really come together over this year because of how down a year it is and things people say," Holiday said. "And we've really come together and go out there and have fun."

Prior to winning the last two games, the Sixers were victorious in just two of their previous 15 outings. Sixers guard Lou Williams has missed three straight games with a back problem, and is questionable for Tuesday. He is averaging 14.4 points per game this season for Philadelphia, which is 12-24 in the City of Brotherly Love.

The Thunder, who have a 20-8 mark against the East this season, handed the Sixers a 117-106 loss at the Ford Center back in early December. Durant scored a game-high 33 points to lead the Thunder in that one. Philly, however, is unbeaten in the last four meetings at the Wachovia Center.
