Oklahoma City Thunder, leading the Western Conference semifinals 3-0, visit the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at Crypto.com Arena for Game 4, which will be a do-or-die clash for JJ Redick's side. The top-seeded Thunder have dominated the series, winning by double digits each time, including a 131-108 blowout in Game 3 on Saturday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a deep, balanced OKC roster have overwhelmed LeBron James and the Lakers, who are fighting to avoid a sweep. Los Angeles will need a massive defensive effort and strong play from James, Austin Reaves, and more in the absence of Luka Doncic to extend the series.

The Thunder enter as heavy favorites, with many predicting another comfortable road win to close out the series. A Lakers victory would force Game 5 back in Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Meanwhile, to catch the action live, here is all you need to know about the fixture.
