Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

All of a sudden, the Thunder are cashing tickets again, as they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. These last two seasons have shown us that when OKC gets rolling, it’s one of the best bets in sports. With that said, OKC is still a banged up team that’s on the end of a back to back. The Lakers keep on winning regular season games, and they’re 8-3 ATS this season. Forget covering, the Lakers are 5-2 SU this season as an underdog. With the rest advantage, I’ll take a shot with the points.
