OKC -14.5 (-110)
Just a week after pummeling the Lakers by 40+ points at home, the Thunder go back on the road to see them again, but this time without Luka Doncic or Austin Reaves. With the No. 1 seed in the West still to play for, OKC will be eager to handle business. OKC is 3-0 ATS against the Lakers this season and just covered a 24.5-point spread against the Jazz on Sunday.
