AMEDEUS' NBA HARDCOURT HAMMER!
(NBA) LA Lakers vs. Oklahoma City,
Point Spread: -5.50 | -109.00 Oklahoma City (Home)
Result: Win
The Lakers are coming into this game with an 11-8 record this season but they have not been playing well recently. They have 2 wins and 2 losses in their last 4 games, including a 44 point loss to the 76ers which was the worst loss of LeBron's career. They bounced back in their game last night as they beat the Pistons by close to 30 points but they are still an awful spot for this game. The Lakers are playing this game on a B2B and it is also the 3rd game for them in their last 4 nights so fatigue is going to settle in late here for an aging Lakers team. They have also had to travel a lot since all 3 of these games have been on the road and they are still missing some of their younger bench depth as well to injury. They are going up against a Thunder team that is 11-6 this season and has been playing very well recently as they are a real threat in the Western Conference this season. They have lost their last 2 straight games but both losses were very close as they lost by 3 to the Timberwolves and by 4 to the 76ers who are 2 of the best teams in the NBA right now. The Thunder will be hungry to bounce back here at home where they have played very well going back to last season and they are also fully healthy now as well. The Thunder will take advantage of this bad spot for the Lakers and bounce back with a big win at home. The Thunder will cover the spread here.
