Lakers - Thunder: times, how to watch on TV, stream online | NBA

As it happened last season, the Lakers are struggling to get into the top spots in the Western Conference, despite winning the NBA In-Season Tournament, and they will need to improve if they want to be considered serious contenders to the title.

Darvin Ham’s men, who are in the mid-table, will travel to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder, who have become one of the most powerful sides in the conference this term. It will be a good test for Lebron James and the rest of his teammates to see how they compete against one of the top opponents in the West.
