Thunder at Lakers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Lakers 110, Thunder 100
Money line (ML)
The Lakers have won five games in a row and eight of their last 10, including a seven-point win at home just two nights ago over the Thunder. The Thunder have lost four of their last six road games. The Lakers are championship contenders while the Thunder have the second-worst record in the conference. This should be a lock for the Lakers to win, but because a Lakers win will only net you $1.33 per $10 wagered, PASS of the money line.

Against the spread (ATS)
Despite the Lakers' win streak and overall great play this season, they have only covered the spread in 48% of their games. They have failed to cover the last three games that they have been favored by at least 10 points, including their last two games overall. Now, Anthony Davis (Achilles') has been ruled out. The Thunder are 12-10-1 ATS but are 9-3 ATS on the road, which is tied for the best ATS record in the league, while the Lakers are 4-7 ATS at home. The Lakers will win but not by enough for the spread it is at without AD. Take the THUNDER +12.5 (-115).
Over/Under (O/U)
The Lakers continue to have one of the league's best defenses, allowing an average of 104.9 points per game, which ranks second overall. They average 113.1 points per game. They have the third-lowest Over percentage in the league at 32%. The two teams' game two nights ago went Over and the Lakers' last two games have gone Over, but they have not had three consecutive games this season go Over yet. Take UNDER 218.5 POINTS (-110).
