Oklahoma City does not have the overall record most would expect at this point, but have gone most of the way without Durant and Westbrook. This team knows it has to play focused every night to work their way back into the playoffs mix. They put together a seven-game winning streak before losing at Golden State by 5, a team that has suffered just three losses all season. One thing about the Thunder is that they are the NBA's most powerful team off a loss. They are 138-82-4 ATS off a loss, so you know they are bringing their "A" game to LA tonight. The Lakers are a shell of their former selves, as this franchise is in a lull and devoid of talent. In addition, the home court isn't what it once was as they are 2-6 ATS here in their last eight. Play on Oklahoma City.
