Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers

Oklahoma City is at a disadvantage in the Western Conference right now. The Thunder are one of the hottest teams in the league, but the two teams ahead of them in the conference standings are just a little bit better — or at least they have been so far this season. Oklahoma City has won eight of 10 games and will be looking to take down the weakest team in the conference on the road.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have been the best duo in the league this season. Durant, finally healthy again, is averaging a team-high 26.6 points and grabbing 7.8 boards while Westbrook is putting up 25.2 points and dishing 9.4 assists.

Kobe Bryant’s send-off to his career has not been up to his standards as he might be leading the team in scoring at 17.2 points per game while dishing 3.4 assists, but his shooting has been sub-par and the Lakers are one of the worst teams in the entire NBA.

The young talent on this roster is impeccable, but it might take a few years for it to gel together to make the Lakers one of the top teams in the league — or at least a playoff contender. Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell lead the way as far as young stars go.
