Los Angeles at Oklahoma City

2025-26 NBA Championship

It took a while for Oklahoma City to get going following an eight-day break, but the Thunder went up 31-26 at the end of the first quarter and never looked back, winning Game 1 by a score of 108-90 on Tuesday night. Look for more of the same in Game 2 as Luka Doncic still is out, and Austin Reaves wasn't much help as he was held to eight points on 3-for-16 shooting. The Thunder are 5-0 in the playoffs, winning by an average of 17.4 points. They have won and covered six in a row against the Lakers, who are 3-7 ATS in their past 10 road games. LeBron James scored 27 points, and Rui Hachimura added 18, but Oklahoma City has too much firepower to overcome. Los Angeles has failed to score 100 points in four straight games. Lay the points with the Thunder.
