NBA LOS ANGELES LAKERS NBA LIVE STREAM, although the Los Angeles Lakers are winning as expected, they can't yet declare victory. They are ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder 90-82 and have taken the lead after three quarters.

The Lakers have relied on small forward Stanley Johnson, who has 17 points and four rebounds, and centre Dwight Howard, who has 15 points and eight rebounds.

Currently leading the pace for Oklahoma City is small forward Jaylen Hoard, who has a double-double of 23 points and 14 rebounds in addition to four assists. Hoard now has issues that are close to his season best of 24.

This season, Oklahoma City had lost 86% of its games when it trailed entering the fourth quarter. This game appears to be almost over.

Things to Know

The Los Angeles Lakers are trying to patch up their defence on Friday after giving up an average of 115 points per game. On April 8 at 10:30 p.m. ET, they will resume play when they welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto.com Arena. Los Angeles is trying to snap a three-game losing run at home.

The Lakers were defeated by the Golden State Warriors on the road on Thursday by a score of 128-112. Talen Horton-Tucker, a small forward, gave the losing team a lift with 40 points.

In the meanwhile, losing is never fun, and losing 137-101, the final score in Oklahoma City's game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, is much less fun. At the end of the third quarter, OKC was down 106-85, which was too much to overcome. Melvin Frazier Jr. didn't make much of a difference for OKC; in his 32 minutes on the court, he finished with just eight points on 4-for-15 shooting.

Due to the defeats, OKC is now 24-56 while the Lakers are 31-49. Both teams play for draught order because neither can qualify for the playoffs. Los Angeles is predicted to win tonight easily, but they also should have easily defeated OKC on November 4 but tripped up with a 107-104 score instead. To put it another way, don't write off OKC just yet.
