Oklahoma City at Los Angeles

I think many were waiting to see what Russell Westbrook could do when he no longer had to share the ball with Kevin Durant. He has certainly put up some big numbers as he is averaging just shy of a triple-double, as he falls short with 9.7 boards per contest. The Thunder have been struggling and lost a heartbreaker in overtime at home in their last game out. The Thunder have by far been the NBA's best team off a loss where they are 164-116-6 ATS. The Lakers are an improved team at 7-7, but they face a better team that is in a spot where they have shown great focus over many a season. In what could be a tight game, I'd rather have Westbrook taking the last shot if it comes down to that. Back Oklahoma City.
