After a disappointing end to their season last year, losing against the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, they have bounced back in the 2024-25 season and have dominated the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA<\/a>. The Thunder acquired Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein in the offseason and with their addition the Thunder currently have the best defensive rating in the league with 106.2. They have cruised through the regular season with an excellent record of 64-13, and they also have the current MVP front runner in Shai Gilgeous Alexander. SGA has been lights out this season averaging 32.6 points, 6.4 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the field. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SGA now has the Most Consecutive 20 PT+ Games in a Season in the last 50 years<br><br>70 &mdash; Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Active)<br>69 &mdash; Michael Jordan (1991)<br>64 &mdash; Kevin Durant (2016)<br>62 &mdash; Kobe Bryant (2006) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hPw9fDM1y0\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/hPw9fDM1y0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; GilgeousSzn&#9928;&#65039; (@GilgeousSZN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GilgeousSZN\/status\/1908337426386272280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/the-milwaukee-bucks-have-clenched-a-playoff-spot-for-the-ninth-consecutive-season\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>The Milwaukee Bucks Have Clenched a Playoff Spot for the Ninth Consecutive Season<\/a><\/p><p>The Thunder have looked unstoppable and with the way they have played this season, and anything short of a championship would be a disappointment for the team.

Rookie head coach JJ Redick is doing an excellent job coaching the Lakers and has helped the team significantly improve their seeding from last season. Lebron James is still doing what he does best and has continued to defy what a 40-year old basketball player should look like. Their guard Austin Reaves&rsquo; emergence as one of, if not, the best third options in the league has been the story for the purple and gold. The way Reaves has been playing this season has been nothing short of amazing averaging 20.2 points per game. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">30+ points in four of his last five games &#128293; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2TCdHj6j6H\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/2TCdHj6j6H<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lakers\/status\/1908379946369921380?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>While the Lakers are not the best team in the Western Conference and there are still questions about their lack of &lsquo;bigs.&rsquo; The sheer fact that Lebron James and Luka Doncic are on the same team, makes them a team to watch going into the playoffs.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Injury Report<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OKC Thunder <\/h3><p>Jaylin Williams will not play tonight against the Lakers as he is still recovering from a left ankle sprain.
