The Lakers won the inaugural NBA Cup or In-Season Tournament as it was called last season and are 2-1 so far in their 3 group games. A win would all but secure their berth in the quarter-finals whilst a loss would see OKC leapfrog them to take their spot with a game in hand.
The Thunder have been a different team since the return of Isaiah Hartenstein who has had 3 consecutive double doubles for his new team. Defensively they have held their opponents to just 103 points per game across the win streak and now take on a Lakers team who have won just 1 of their last 4 games.
The Lakers can score, but struggle defensively to contain teams that are elite with ball in hand. Across their last 3 games they have allowed the 24th most points to opposition averaging 118.3 per matchup. It is here I believe the Thunder will have the upper hand and be able to get on top of the home team Lakers.
Oklahoma to cover as favourites with the total going over. I would like to Hartenstein to continue his progress but I think he might encounter some trouble up against AD, so take SGA to go Over his total instead, leading the team to victory.
- OKC have the 2nd best defence in the league allowing just 103.8 points per game on the season.
- Prior to their most recent win the Lakers went 0-5 ATS.
- Los Angeles allow opponents 116.6 points per game ranking them 24th in the NBA.
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averages 29.5 points per game and has scored over 30 in 4 of his last 5 games.
Head to Head
2023-24 Season Series:
The Lakers won the series 3-1
Oklahoma City Thunder Form
Oklahoma are on a 3 game win streak heading into their 3rd NBA Cup game. They have split their first two 1-1 but still have a chance to progress with wins in their remaining two games.
Isaiah Hartenstein has been a massive help on both ends of the floor since his return which has coincided with the win streak. The centre has 3 double-doubles in 3 games averaging 15.3 points and 12.7 rebounds.
The Thunder give up the 2nd fewest Turnovers in the league while forcing the most Turnovers from their opponents.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
No new injury news for the Thunder.
Los Angeles Lakers Form
LA snapped a 3 game losing streak last start against the San Antonio Spurs with a resounding 119-101 victory.
LeBron James is still turning back the clock at 39 years of age putting up his 6th triple-double of the season with 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. He was helped by Anthony Davis who added 19 points and 14 boards with rookie standout Dalton Knecht hitting 4 shots from deep in his 20 point performance.
Los Angeles rank 24th in opposition points but have been winning thanks to their explosive scoring prowess which ranks 10th in the league.
Los Angeles Lakers Team News
Anthony Davis and Dalton Knecht are both listed as probable while Jaxson Hayes nears a return listed as doubtful on the injury report.
