Los Angeles at Oklahoma City

This might be a No. 1 seed vs. a No. 8 seed, but the Lakers have really had a hard time holding off this young, but talented Thunder team. The Thunder was down 2-0, got off to a horrible first quarter start in game three, and could have wilted, but they climbed back in the game. When the game was on the line in the fourth quarter, they were the ones with the answers, not the Lakers. Many don't get to see Kevin Durant play much, but he has outscored Kobe 85-84 in the three games. More importantly, he is getting to the line where he had 30 attempts in the three games, while Kobe became a jump shooter in game three and did not get to the line once. They are making Kobe work for everything he gets as he has attempted 76 shots, but making just 36.8%. The Lakers are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 posted as a dog of 2.5 or less on the road, while the Thunder claims a 13-3 ATS mark as a home chalk of 4.5 or less. I like Oklahoma City here to even the series.
