Under in 2/3 vs LAL this season - will have the most difficult matchup on the floor for OKC vs AD. Much better spot for SGA/Jalen. Also under in 8/10 on zero days rest (overs versus WSH and SAS - smash spots for centers).

The Lakers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder who had to make a late game comeback against the Phoenix Suns last night. Although they are young team, the back-to-back should negatively impact their defense. One player I’m targeting is LeBron James. James just passed the 40,000 point threshold in his last game against the Nuggets and now gets an opportunity to continue adding to that total. This season, LeBron has averaged 25.2 ppg and 7.9 assists per game. The scoring numbers jump against OKC over the last two years. In those 5 games he has averaged 31.4 points and 5.6 assists per game. While the assists are down against OKC, I think looking at his recent form this is a bit of an overreaction to his H2H history. He has exceeded 31.5 Points + Assists in 9 straight games and in 23 of his last 30 games when playing alongside Anthony Davis while averaging 34.3 PA per game. This should be a fast Paced game with both the Thunder (8th) and the Lakers (6th) having top 10 Pace marks in the league. I expect LeBron James to exceed 31.5 PR tonight.
