Injury Report, Updated Odds (1/15): Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers

The Thunder caps off a full day of NBA games on the MLK slate with a matchup in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

The Oklahoma City Thunder play the final game of the MLK Day slate of games as they travel to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on the first night of a back-to-back. The Thunder is looking to pile onto their four-game winning streak as they hit the road again.

For the Lakers, they've been rocky as a team since winning the In-Season Tournament, though they defeated the Thunder in the two teams' last battle just under a month ago. 

The winner of this game will claim control of the regular season series as each team has won a game. 

Injury Report

Thunder:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Questionable (Knee)

Lakers:

Anthony Davis, Probable (Ankle)

LeBron James, Questionable (Ankle)

Cam Reddish, OUT (Knee)

D'Angelo Russell, Questionable (Illness)

Gabe Vincent, OUT (Knee)

There are some very notable names on this list. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would be a huge blow to the Thunder lineup if he's unable to go. He's an MVP-level player this season and playing without him would be a huge test for the Thunder on the road.

The Lakers, though, could also be shorthanded as LeBron James is questionable. If he and D'Angelo Russell don't play, the Lakers would also be taking just as much of a hit to their lineup.

Whichever team ends up playing more healthy will get an advantage in this one, and the game should be close if James and Gilgeous-Alexander both end up playing.

Updated Odds

The Lakers opened as 3.5-point favorites in this one, but the Thunder flipped to being a 1.5-point favorite. The Thunder is the team that comes into this game in a much better form, but the Lakers are likely to make this one an interesting game, especially with Gilgeous-Alexander's status up in the air.

With the Thunder's play style, they're capable of taking this game no matter Gilgeous-Alexander's status, but they'll have to play a clean game on both sides of the ball if he's inactive.
