Just eight days ago, the LeBron James-less Los Angeles Lakers took a 26-point lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder only to see it dwindle away as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Darius Bazley led OKC to a123-115 comeback win. The end of the game, in particular, was a frenzy; game-winning shots were air-balled, the Thunder tried to give the game away with turnovers, and Russell Westbrook was upset with Bazley for stealing a pass and dunking a ball while the Lakers were still trying to score in the waning moments of the game.
The two teams are back on Thursday night for a rematch and LeBron is out with an injury again. It’ll be on Westbrook and Anthony Davis to ensure the Lakers (-10.5) avenge a loss that they never should have taken. Let’s take a look at Tipico Sportsbook‘s player props to get a feel for which guys we should expect to produce.
