Lakers vs Thunder odds – Friday, March 26, 8:00 PM ET

Kobe Bryant did what he does best, knocking down a couple of late three-pointers in a 92-83 win at San Antonio on Wednesday, and he led the Lakers with 24 points. Lamar Odom added 19 points and 13 boards for the Lakers, who shot 45.6% from the floor and nailed 10 three-pointers at a 50% clip. The Lakers also held the Spurs to 37.5% from the field, which made up for a miserable 10-of-17 night at the foul line.

The Lakers have been rolling and showing why, despite Cleveland having the best record in the NBA, they should be the sports betting favorites to repeat.

The Thunder snapped a two-game skid with a 122-104 win at home over Houston on Wednesday, and Kevin Durant led six Thunder players in double figures with 25 points. James Harden came off the bench to drop 23 points in his first game back from a hamstring injury, and his return is a big shot in the arm of the second unit. The Thunder shot an outlandish 58.8% from the field, and they were also 20-of-22 from the charity stripe, and Oklahoma City is a very solid team fundamentally, which is uncharacteristic of such a young team.Sports Betting at the Sportsbook

Sportsbook odds (sportsbook reviews) will be up in the air for this match, as the Thunder are a good team at home, but this franchise has lost 12 in a row to the Lakers, failing to beat them since November 5th, 2006, when the team was still in Seattle.

Bryant has averaged 32.3 points in three meetings with the Thunder this year, while Durant has countered with 25.7 points. Two of the Thunder losses have come by three points, so they know they can play with the Lakers, but Los Angeles’ experience has pulled them through. However, the gap is closing quickly, and the Thunder still have homecourt advantage in their sights if they can go on a run right now.
