As the NBA season reaches its midpoint, the Los Angeles Lakers have yet to play two conference opponents: the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks.
The Lakers host both this week with Oklahoma City heading to Staples Center Monday night as part of a special Martin Luther King Day doubleheader on TNT.
"We normally would have played them by now," Lakers guard Kobe Bryant told The Oklahoman. "I haven't seen them (play this season). I know (Kevin) Durant is being Durant and Russell (Westbrook) is being Russell. I'm looking forward to seeing them."
TNT analyst and former NBA coach Mike Fratello is as well, a contest that could preview the Western Conference finals. The two teams met in the first round of the playoffs last season.
