The Los Angeles Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers suffered a disappointing 132-125 loss on Saturday to the Utah Jazz after they had built a solid lead early in the contest. With a 19-21 record, they’re in 11th place in the Western Conference, and things are growing more perilous for them with each passing day.
Oklahoma City, one of the league’s most promising teams, is well ahead of schedule. It is in second place in the West at 27-11 and is just half a game behind the first-place Minnesota Timberwolves. Big man Chet Holmgren is currently the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to be one of the NBA’s leading scorers with an average of 31.5 points a game.
These two teams have met two previous times this season. The Thunder won the first meeting easily by 23 points on Nov. 30, but L.A. responded with a 129-120 victory on Dec. 23.
