Los Angeles Lakers (50-28) and Oklahoma City Thunder (62-16) will meet in the Western Conference on Tuesday night at the Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers will look to avenge their 139-96 loss last week against the conference leaders. They’ll also want to bounce back from their 134-128 loss against the Mavericks on Sunday night, which saw them drop to the fourth spot in the standings. A win tonight could see them leapfrog the Nuggets to third place.
OKC Thunder, on the other side of the hardwood, has been the hottest NBA team this season. They won nine of their last 10 matches and will be eager to make it five wins on the bounce. However, the race to win the Western Conference is far from over, with the Spurs sitting just 2.5 games behind them. They can take a step closer towards defending their conference title with a win tonight.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Lakers will enter this game as the +850 betting underdogs. They’re in the middle of an injury crisis, with Doncic ruled out for the rest of the regular season with a hamstring injury. Austin Reaves is also out for the remaining regular-season matches with an oblique injury, whereas this game could come too soon for Marcus Smart. Meanwhile, LeBron James will undergo a late test on his foot, with the fate of the Lakers now depending on the 41-year-old. These injuries will definitely have a direct impact on their performance against the red-hot Thunder tonight. We expect the visitors to dominate this contest.
Our prediction for Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Oklahoma Thunder on the -16.5 spread.
