The OKC Thunder are at home for the second successive NBA night against the LA Lakers. Read on for our prediction of this match involving two of the top three teams in the Western Conference.
The Thunder suffered their worst loss of the season when they fell 126-99 to the Lakers in the first game of this back-to-back. It was only the third time this season that they were held to under 100 points, and they will be keen on getting back.
Mike Daigneault’s men, already confirmed as the top seed in the Western Conference, have lost their last two games. They had won 11 straight and had lost just once in 19 outings before this slump. OKC have compiled a league-leading 64-14 record.
The Lakers tied this series with the Thunder at 1-1 and are now seeking to win their final regular-season battle. J.J. Redick’s men dominated on the glass in the first night and shot an incredible 55% from the field and from three.
Luka Doncic was in great form and scored a game-high 30 points with LeBron James and Austin Reeves adding 19 and 20 points, respectively.
The three are, however, listed as questionable for the second game. LA have won 48 games and, with four more fixtures to play, haven’t yet confirmed a playoff berth.
