A massive Western Conference showdown takes place Thursday night as the Los Angeles Lakers (50-26) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (60-16) at Paycom Center. With the Thunder leading the conference and the Lakers sitting third, this late-season matchup has the feel of a potential playoff preview.
Los Angeles arrives in strong form, riding a four-game winning streak and having won 16 of its last 18 games. Luka Dončić has been at the center of that surge, putting together an incredible scoring run that includes a 60-point performance while leading the league in scoring. Oklahoma City, meanwhile, continues to set the pace across the NBA, entering on a three-game win streak and boasting one of the league’s toughest home environments with just six losses at Paycom Center all season.
