The Oklahoma City Thunder continue their three-game road trip as they travel to face the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. This is the season's first matchup between the squads.

To the surprise of just about everyone, the Lakers have put up 40 points in the first quarter despite being without four starters and lead by eight going into the second period. Austin Reaves, the one starter who is playing, leads everyone with 12 points, and L.A. has a monstrous 19-7 edge in rebounding.

Two top-four teams in the Western Conference will battle for playoff positioning as the Denver Nuggets host the Los Angeles Lakers.
