What to Watch For (Updated April 7)

The Oklahoma City Thunder must take care of business against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday against. The Purple and Gold are down LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart in this contest while the Thunder are only resting Jalen Williams.

Not only would this win for the Thunder be pivotal in clinching the top seed in the Western Conference, but keeps the Lakers losing to stay on the proper side of the bracket. Oklahoma City should hope for a Lakers vs. Rockets No. 4 vs. No. 5 seed matchup in the first round with the winning drawing the Bricktown Ballers in Round 2. The Thunder would then see the San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves on the opposite side of the bracket, only having to meet one of the three and not until a possible Western Conference Finals showing.

In addition to this result on Tuesday night, the Thunder should be hoping for a Houston Rockets win over the Minnesota Timberwolves to keep the Rockets putting pressure on the Lakers to perhaps flip the home court advantage outcome in that series. The Clippers to take down the Dallas Mavericks keeping them in the No. 7 vs. No. 8 Play-in game with the chance to avoid the best player in the play-in field, Kawhi Leonard in the first round. Though, that isn't exactly pressing for Oklahoma City.
