The Oklahoma City Thunder, Western Conference's top seed at 64-18 and defending NBA champions, host the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of the conference semifinals on May 5, holding home-court advantage throughout the best-of-seven series. Lakers advanced past the No. 5 Rockets in six games with a 98-78 Game 6 clincher led by LeBron James, but face injury headwinds including Luka Doncic's hamstring strain that sidelined him late regular season and into playoffs, alongside recent oblique issues for Austin Reaves now resolved. Thunder dominated all three regular-season matchups, including 139-96 and 121-92 routs, showcasing elite defense and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP-caliber form amid OKC's superior standings and rest edge.
