Result:
WIN

Oklahoma City is tops in the NBA in rebounds, 10th in scoring, and second in field goal shooting defense behind only Golden State. The Thunder comes off a loss at Portland, but is 8-1 ATS in their last nine games. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant won't play, but center Enes Kanter is back from a one-game absence due to a right thigh contusion. The Thunder held the Trail Blazers to 43.8 percent shooting, but Portland went 27 of 31 from the foul line and OKC won the rebounding battle, 47-43. The Thunder is 4-0 ATS against a team with a losing record. While Oklahoma City does many things well, the Lakers don't do anything well at 17th in points scored, 30th in points allowed, and are second worst in field goal shooting defense allowing 46.6%. The Lakers are on a 6-13-1 ATS run, so grab the motivated visitors who are holding on to the No. 8 seed in the West. Play Oklahoma City.
