Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Preview
Thunder Moneyline
Oklahoma City is off to a red-hot start this season after being crowned champions last year.
The Thunder remain the betting favorites to go back-to-back.
I love the way this team is playing and expect them to keep rolling tonight.
They’ve been dominant at home, starting 5-0 this season after going 35-6 in their own building last year.
Their depth and pace should be too much for the short-handed Lakers to handle.
Austin Reaves 20+ Points
The former Oklahoma standout has picked up right where he left off, averaging 30.3 points per game to start the year.
With LeBron James sidelined, Reaves continues to fill the secondary scoring role, and thrive in it.
Our Action Pro Report projects him for 25.2 points tonight, making 20+ well within reach.
