The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Los Angeles Lakers in a rematch of Sunday's lopsided loss to the Purple and Gold. This game marks the final regular season home tilt for the Thunder and concludes the season-series between these two foes. Currently, the season series is tied 1-1, with Oklahoma City's win coming before Thanksgiving.

After initially listing its rotation as questionable, the Lakers upgraded its stars to probable making this clash a must-watch contest. With the Thunder's upcoming games against the Suns, Jazz and Pelicans, this is the last time Oklahoma City will face off with a playoff foe.

Last game, the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled out a starting lineup of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein; the first time the Lakers got a glimpse of its double-big lineup, tonight, they decided to run it back.

30 minutes before tip-off, the two sides announced its starting five for Tuesday's contest.
