The Los Angeles Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
This contest will be big for the Lakers. They have the same record as the Thunder (36-37), yet they’re in 10th place in the Western Conference while the Thunder are in 12th place. The teams are tied 1-1 in the season series. Therefore, the winner of this contest earns the tiebreaker, which could make a big difference in the standings when the regular season concludes.
