Heading to this game here the Lakers may be playing in back to back games, but to be honest I do not see the Lakers losing this game. The Thunder are just not that good of a team and have struggled on the year overall and will continue to have a lot of issues here in Los Angeles. The other thing that I see happening is the score will most likely go under the total with the Lakers playing good defensively and the offense for the Lakers not really getting going like it is expected to.
