The Oklahoma City Thunder travel on the road to face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. This will be the fourth matchup of the season between the two squads. OKC has won the first three with its latest victory on Apr. 2.
The Thunder (62-16) continue to roll along. They made easy work of the Utah Jazz in a 146-111 win on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a quiet 20 points and seven assists. Chet Holmgren tallied 21 points, seven rebounds and four blocks.

Meanwhile, the Lakers (50-28) have walked through a post-apocalyptic world. They fell to the Dallas Mavericks in a 134-128 loss on Sunday. LeBron James turned back the clock with 30 points and 15 assists, but that wasn’t enough to avoid the upset.
The Thunder will be without an All-NBA talent. Jalen Williams (hamstring injury management) is out. Thomas Sorber (torn ACL) is out.
Same could be said about the Lakers. And then some. Luka Doncic (hamstring strain) is out. Austin Reaves (oblique muscle strain) is out. LeBron James (foot injury management) is questionable. Marcus Smart (ankle contusion) is out.
Tipoff from Los Angeles is set for 9:30 p.m. CT.
