Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers come into this match as the more in-form team. They've won their last three matches, with the same number of victories being recorded in front of their supporters. This is more of a revenge match for the home team, who lost their last match against the Thunder 121-92.
The Thunder are one of the worst teams in the NBA at defending the three-point range - ranked 26th. With such a weak perimeter defense and poor form, expect the Lakers to cover the +7.5 point spread. Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction: Los Angeles Lakers +7.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
