Brooklyn Nets at Los Angeles Lakers Thunder Prediction
We are going to be a bit bold here and call for the Lakers outright. In doing so we reduce the juice with the slim amount of points we are given. We’ll hand the basket back to the Thunder and play on the Lakers against public expectation. The Lakers are a much improved team and while their defense is in a need of a remodel, the same argument can made for the Thunder who have given up over 103 points in their previous seven fixtures. Out of the gate, the recognizable name with the marquee player in Russell Westbrook seems to bode the most value to takers but we have reason to believe otherwise. Los Angeles has taken down teams like Golden State at home this year and it is without question while they are off the radar, the Lakers are looking to make a name for themselves and establish a narrative that they are no longer the pipsqueaks of the West.

Take the Los Angeles Lakers +110
