Matchups between the two this season

The Thunder have yet to win a game against the Los Angeles Lakers this year.

On Nov. 19, Oklahoma City fell 112-107 as three starters — Chris Paul, Terrance Ferguson and Steven Adams — combined for nine points.

Dennis Schroder managed to help the Thunder keep up by scoring 31 points and Danilo Gallinari had seven points late to help make the score a two-point game with less than a minute and a half to go, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hit a dagger 3 to win. LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined for 59.

Three days later, the Lakers again got the better in a close game.

Davis scored the final eight points for the Lakers, including a four-point play, as Los Angeles won 130-127. Steven Adams had 22 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24.

The third game was not so close. The Lakers won 125-110 after outscoring Oklahoma City 41-19 in the first quarter.

Galinari and Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points apiece, but Kyle Kuzma went off for a season-high 36 points.

Lakers’ season

The trade for Anthony Davis and a healthy LeBron James has helped Los Angeles not only end a six-season playoff drought, but get the No. 1 seed. They clinched the top spot with the win Monday.

James has put together one of the finer years of his career with 25 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds per game, and Davis averages almost 27 points with nine rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.4 blocks.

Centers Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee have found rejuvenation and been productive this year.

The Lakers are lacking some guard depth without Rajon Rondo or Avery Bradley, which seems like their only area of potential weakness. Alex Caruso has been solid on both ends of the court and Los Angeles has found help from other rotation pieces, including adding Dion Waiters for bubble play.
