The Thunder are in Los Angeles tonight to take on the Lakers, with OKC looking to earn their first win of 2019. While tonight’s game will largely focus on the fact that Paul George decided to stay in Oklahoma City rather than head home and play in an LA uniform, the outcome itself may be dictated by the guy who won’t be in a jersey — LeBron James. James continues to miss games due to a groin injury, which means his young Lakers squad will have to face the Thunder defense without their centerpiece.
