Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+8.5) for Thunder – 1.92.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 227.5 – 1.92.
The Lakers are in a crisis right now. If the Lakers win, they are unlikely to do so confidently. The OKC Thunder’s reserves have been playing quite well.
Despite all the setbacks, the Lakers have been productive. They are scoring over 110 points per game. At the same time, their defensive play is not good. After all, the Lakers concede a lot.

The Lakers have been feverish since the start of the regular season. Frank Vogel’s squad was never able to become one team. Constant injuries to individual players prevented them from finding stability. Throughout the season the Lakers were winning and losing, and at the end of the season, they were falling apart.
The Lakers have been winless for two weeks. In that time, they’ve lost LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. That trio will not play in the next game. It looks like the reserves will take the court against the OKC Thunder.
In the game against the Warriors, Talen Horton-Tucker scored 40 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

The OKC Thunder also had too many losses. All of the team’s key players are sidelined. In spite of that, the Thunder have a decent game. For example, recently they defeated the Portland Trail Blazers twice.
It should be noted that the Thunder had only eight players in their last game against the Utah Jazz. It seems like the team’s coach lacks quality players. Jaylen Hoard was the best player in the game. The Frenchman scored 23 points. However, his team lost to the Jazz with a score of 101-131.
In the game against the Jazz, Jaylen Hoard scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
