This is the match most NBA fans have been waiting for. The 11-1 Oklahoma City Thunder takes on the 8-3 Los Angeles Lakers as both teams look to cement their spots at the top of the Western Conference. What's the best play here? Find out in our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers match prediction below.

Who wins this game is up for debate, but what's certain for us is that Luka Doncic will clear 29 points with ease. He's been in action for only seven games this season, but he leads the NBA in points per game (PPG) with a staggering 37.1. And in those seven games, he cleared 29 points in six games.

Doncic has been absolutely lethal so far, and we don't think Oklahoma’s seemingly impenetrable defense can keep him locked up. Doncic has played OKC in a Laker’s jersey twice, and he won this bet in one of those two games, scoring 30 and 23 points respectively.

But his history against OKC goes way back. Now, in his last eight games against the Thunder stretching back to 2022, Doncic has scored 29+ points in six games, averaging 30.7 points in that span.
