All eyes will be on tonight’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The travelling league leaders, OKC, beat LA in all three meetings this season. But this game is promising to be different as both teams must fine-tune with the playoffs just right around the corner. See our Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction below.
The Thunder are on track to finish top of the Western Conference as they boast a stellar 62-16 record. They enter this matchup on a five-game winning streak, including a dominant 139-96 victory over these same Lakers just last week. They also defeated the Eastern Conference Leader, the Detroit Pistons, underlining just how dominant the Shai-led Thunder are.
In contrast, the Lakers’ four-game winning streak and their thunderous 13-1 run just ended with back-to-back defeats against OKC and then the Mavericks on the road. However, the Lakers now return home to a territory that has seen them win ten straight games in the Crypto.com Arena.
LA, too, has been outstanding all season, currently sitting in 4th with the potential of matching the third-placed Nuggets on wins tonight. But can they overcome their fear of thunder and get a first win since April last year?
