The Lakers are second in the postseason in points allowed (98.7 per game) and third in opponent shooting percentage, leaning on defense with Luka Dončić sidelined. He's not close to returning. They face a powerhouse Oklahoma City defense that was No. 1 in the regular season in field-goal percentage allowed (43.7%) and second in points allowed. The wagering value is on a defensive first half. Take Los Angeles/Oklahoma City First Half UNDER the total.
