Oklahoma City at Los Angeles

The LA Lakers are a playoff-caliber team with LeBron James healthy and on the court, but without him, his teams have struggled to win. Overall, the Lakers are just 3-5 in their last eight games. The Thunder opened the season at 0-3, and failed to cover their first four, and have since been 23-10 SU and 20-12 ATS, and have been very consistent. They have really played their best vs. the Lakers where they are 24-7 SU and 18-12-1 ATS in the last 31 meetings, and they have win five of the last seven at the Forum. I don't see this Lakers' team competing without James in this one. Take Oklahoma City.
