Los Angeles puts home win streak on the line against Oklahoma City
The Lakers aim to extend their three-game home win streak against the Western Conference leaders, who allow just 107.9 points per game, the league's best defense.
- On Monday at 10 p.m. EST, the Los Angeles Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder in Los Angeles, aiming to prolong a three-game home winning streak in their second meeting this season.
- Oklahoma City's standing and defense set the context: the Thunder lead the Western Conference, allowing just 107.9 points and holding opponents to 43.3% shooting, while the Lakers sit fifth and average 25.2 assists per game.
- Offensively, the teams profile as follows: the Lakers average 115.4 points per game with 51.1% shooting, while the Thunder average 114.9 points with 47.5%, led by LeBron James and Chet Holmgren.
- Given the last meeting's scoreline, the Thunder routed the Lakers 121-92 on Nov. 13, and Oklahoma City's 30 record impacts conference seeding.
- Injury lists and depth charts matter because both teams list multiple rotation players out, including Ajay Mitchell, Nikola Topic, Jalen Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Deandre Ayton, Luka Doncic, and Adou Thiero, while Cason Wallace and Rui Hachimura show solid recent form.
