Thunder vs Lakers live stream: How to watch the game online

By

The NBA will honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by celebrating the iconic figure’s messages during each broadcast. The final game on MLK Day features Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder traveling West to play LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers inside Crypto.com Arena. The game airs on NBA TV at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT on January 15.

The Thunder have been one of the best surprises of the season and have a legitimate chance to secure a top 3 seed in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Lakers are fighting for seeding in the Play-In Tournament, so they will be looking to win several games to enter the top 6. The game will be nationally televised on NBA TV. Even without cable, there are ways to access NBA TV.
