Premium Pick

The young L.A. Lakers had a terrible stretch but are out of that funk and on a 4-1 SU/ATS run. They won two of those as a dog at Dallas and against the Spurs, a 93-81 win turning up the defense. The Lakers get forward Brandon Ingram back after he missed the last game against Memphis with a left ankle sprain. Oklahoma City is a big favorite, but has been struggling on a 4-5 SU, 3-6 ATS run. They lost four of those as chalk. OKC comes off a win over a bad Sacramento Kings squad just 95-88 as a 12-point favorite. Oklahoma City is 7-19 ATS working on one day of rest, plus 3-11 ATS against losing teams. Play the L.A. Lakers.
