The Los Angeles Lakers travel to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. Here is all the information you need to watch or listen to the game!

The Los Angeles Lakers winning streak came to an end on Monday. The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Lakers on Monday, snapping their four-game winning streak. Tonight, the Lakers will try and get back into the win column against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder have had their own struggles this season getting acclimated to their new Big 3. Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony have had their rough patches, but look to have figured things out to a certain degree. The Thunder come into tonight’s game on a two-game winning streak and 24-20 overall record.

Tonight will be the second time that the Lakers and Thunder face off this season. Lakers fans would like to forget the first meeting, as the Thunder obliterated the Lakers 133-96 at the STAPLES Center.

Everyone who stepped onto the court for the Thunder had a positive impact. The Big 3 all scored at least 20 points, and efficiently. Terrance Ferguson had a coming out party and career game, turning the blowout into his own personal dunk contest.

The Lakers were shorthanded going into that game. Brook Lopez was making his return to the lineup after missing eight games with an ankle injury. Lonzo Ball was in the midst of missing six games because of a shoulder injury.

Lopez has since returned to the starting lineup. Ball did as well, but he will once again be sidelined against the Thunder. After returning and helping the Lakers win four consecutive games, Ball will be out tonight with a sore knee.

This is bad news for the Lakers. Despite constantly being under the microscope and bashed by some people, Ball is an integral part of the Lakers success. They are 0-7 in games that Ball does not play in this season.

While Ball will be out, the Lakers did receive some positive news on the injury front. Small forward Brandon Ingram will be returning to the lineup after missing Monday’s game with an ankle injury. That will help a Lakers offense that looked lost at times on Monday evening.
