Oklahoma City Thunder (64-14) versus LA Lakers (48-30) is an exciting Western Conference game at the Paycom Center on Tuesday night. The Thunder have already secured the No. 1 seed in the conference and are under no pressure to win their remaining matches. However, Mike Daigneault’s men have been inconsistent lately, giving up their last two assignments against the Rockets and the Thunder. They didn’t look sharp against the Lakers last weekend after failing to score 100+ points for the first time this season. The fans will hope for an immediate response.

JJ Redick’s Lakers, meanwhile, have no room for slip-ups in the conference. They are second in the standings, 16 games behind the Thunder and only 1.5 games ahead of the Nuggets. The Lakers are also just 2.0 games ahead of the eighth-placed Grizzlies. This means only two teams (Thunder and Rockets) have confirmed their postseason spots. A win against Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night will all but seal their qualification spot.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

Just a few weeks ago, it would have been difficult to imagine the Thunder losing two games on the bounce. However, that’s now a reality after some poor performances in their recent assignments. In the last three games, the Thunder have scored an average of 109.67 points while giving up 118 points. This could put them in trouble against the Lakers, who have scored an average of 120.8 PPG in the last five assignments. LA will make a game-time decision on the fitness of LeBron James, Luca Doncic, and Austin Reaves. They should win if the trio is fit to play. Our prediction for OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers: Under 226.5 points.

Prediction:
