Lakers vs Thunder Recent Meetings
Prediction
All trends point to the Thunder to obliterate the Lakers not only in Game 1, but the series as well. OKC easily won all four regular season meetings and took out Phoenix in five games in round one. But this is a different Lakers teams since the loss to the Thunder on April 7. Despite being short-handed, L.A. has won seven of their last nine and now have Austin Reaves back, while Oklahoma City has a key starter out in Jalen Williams. I like the Thunder to win this game, but 15.5 points is a lot.
Pick: Lakers +15.5
