Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Los Angeles Lakers

The team hosted Denver at home in the previous game and once again failed to cope with Nikola Jokic. The Lakers fought back for a long time but traditionally gave the Nuggets a clean sweep in the end - 114:124.

At the same time, if we look at the stretch of the last 20 games, the Lakers have a good record of 12 wins. Progress in the course of the championship has already allowed LeBron and company to gain a strong position in the Western Conference play-in zone and reduce the gap from the top 6 to 2.5 wins.

Oklahoma City Thunder

The Thunder moved into first place in the West by beating Minnesota. The team achieved this landmark achievement after traveling to Phoenix in the previous game, where Oklahoma broke the resistance of the Suns - 118:110.

In a stretch of 20 previous meetings, Okla is also the best in the Western Conference with a 15-5 balance. In short, there is little doubt about the Thunder getting directly into the playoffs.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have been winning more often than losing lately, and in the upcoming game, it is very difficult to determine the favorite. On the one hand, Oklahoma will have a back-to-back after the game with Phoenix and will take to the floor in the background of fatigue. On the other hand, on the whole, the Thunder are more stable than the Lakers, and their roster is young, which allows them to play with the same energy two days in a row. Let's not bet on the outcome here, but take a TO bet, as both the Lakers and Oklahoma have problems in defense this season.
