Los Angeles Lakers - Oklahoma City Thunder.  Forecast for the match 08.02.2023

Lakers record

For the Lakers, this season is not going well, the team is only 13th in the West, although playoff chances remain as they are two wins behind the top 10. In the last meeting, the club lost away to New Orleans with a score of 126:131, breaking a two-win streak. The upcoming game could be significant because LeBron James could break the all-time scoring record, and all he needs to do is score 36 points, the average “king” scores 30. One basketball player will miss this game due to injury.

Oklahoma has a busy calendar

Personal meetings

The teams have yet to cross paths this season, and have recently played four times, scoring two wins each.

Match prediction

Rivals play in the same conference and are direct competitors. The bookmakers are giving the Lakers a clear advantage, it’s not about LeBron’s form and company, it’s that the Lakers have a home game and will also have two extra rest days. We expect a fruitful fight and we suggest betting on the sum above 235.5 points.
