Advice and prediction
This is a good spot for the Thunder with Davis out, as 10.5 is a big line to be laying for the Lakers. These teams have met once already this season and the Lakers cruised to a 29-point victory on the road, but LA was fully healthy in that game while the Thunder were missing Horford. With the Lakers just two days removed from a double-overtime win over the Pistons, I like the Thunder to lose… but keep things relatively close. Take the Thunder +10.5.
I also like the over 219.5 here. The under has been the smart bet on the Lakers all season, but they won’t have Davis protecting the paint, and the Thunder just scored a franchise-record 82 points in a half against the Timberwolves on Saturday. The first meeting between these two teams also easily went past 219.5.
Prediction: Lakers 125, Thunder 116
