The Oklahoma City Thunder will be out to close out their 2025-26 NBA Conference Semifinals series against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at Crypto.com Arena. The Thunder leads the series 3–0, and their dominant performance so far has us back a prediction of them winning again by an emphatic margin. Read on for more details.
The Los Angeles Lakers entered this series as underdogs and have so far failed to prove doubters wrong. The Lakers have not only struggled in the series, but have been heavily outscored in each of the opening three games. They lost the opening two games (both in Oklahoma) by 18 points each and fell to an even heavier 131–108 defeat at home last time out.
JJ Redick's side have now suffered defeats in five of their last six playoff games and are coming off back-to-back home defeats. The odds are also stacked against the California-based franchise as no NBA team has ever overturned a 3–0 series deficit.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City Thunder will be confident of wrapping up the series tonight. Their Game 3 win saw them secure seven consecutive victories in the playoffs. They have now won five of their last six away games, four of which by double-digit margins, and have aced all of their last eight encounters against the Los Angeles Lakers.
