What time does LeBron James, Lakers play tonight? Scoring tracker, live stream, how to watch online

LeBron James is on the verge of breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for most points scored in NBA history and will get a chance Tuesday, Feb. 7 when the Los Angeles Lakers face the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month).

Abdul-Jabbar’s record stands at 38,387 points. James needs 36 points to break the record.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the NBA will pay tribute when James passes Abdul-Jabbar’s total of 38,387 points, with likely a larger-scale celebration of the record at All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City later this month.

“There’s no doubt we will stop that game and make sure we record for history, the ball, the basket, the uniform,” Silver said. “We’ll stop and make sure that we’ve done our jobs as the archivists of the NBA. At the same time, there’s that balance that they will be playing against a team that will very much want to win that night and not be distracted. Most likely we will do something in the moment.”

Common sense will likely prevail there: If James gets the record with a minute to go in a close game, for example, the NBA probably won’t interrupt the proceedings with a lengthy stoppage. If it happens early, a brief halting of play wouldn’t be unprecedented.

When is Lakers-Thunder?

The Lakers face the Thunders at 9 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, Feb. 7.

Will it be live streamed?

SlingTV

SlingTV is also one of the cheaper live streaming services. It offers three different channel packages for its users: Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange + Blue.

All three packages are offering half off the first month.

Sling Blue and Sling Orange are both $40 per month, but offer different channel selections.

The main difference between the two packages is the line of ESPN channels offered with Sling Orange as opposed to channels such as Fox News, MSNBC, Discovery and Bravo offered with Sling Blue.

Meanwhile, Sling Orange + Blue is both packages combined for $55 a month.

What TV channel will broadcast the game?

The Lakers-Thunder will be broadcast on TNT.
