OKC leads 1-0
- Spread: Thunder -15.5
- Moneyline: Thunder -900, Lakers +600
- O/U: 210.5
What to know: If Game 1 was any indication, it appears that without Luka Dončić, the Lakers just don’t have the firepower to compete with the Thunder. OKC outscored L.A. in every quarter and held the Lakers to 37 points in the second half. L.A. scored a playoff-low 90 points, shooting just 41% from the field and 33% from 3. On top of that, SGA only scored 18 for the Thunder and was just 2-for-3 from the free-throw line. And, Jalen Williams didn’t even play.
