Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers NBA Playoffs Picks Review
The Oklahoma City Thunder seized all of the momentum in this series with consecutive home wins over the Los Angeles Lakers, but they will need to find a way to win in LA if they want to take the series.
Kobe Bryant is coming off of one of his least inspiring performances of the playoffs scoring just 12 points while Kevin Durant just completely out-classed him. Kobe has taken nights off in the playoffs before only to bounce back with dominant performances, so don’t write him off. The big question is, does Durant deserve the credit for Kobe’s Game 4 stinker? or does Kobe deserve the blame?
The Lakers are 6.5-point NBA playoff odds favorites at betED and the over/under is 194.
