Joe D'Amico's NBA Best Bet Winner

LA Lakers vs. Oklahoma City, 12/07/2012 21:30 EDT, Score: 108 - 114

Point Spread: -7½/-105 Oklahoma City

Sportsbook: TopBet

Result: Loss

Today's winner is Oklahoma City over Los Angeles. This is my BEST BET play.

Oklahoma City is red-hot, winning 6 in a row both SU and ATS. The Thunder are also riding a 5-game home win and cover streak. Los Angeles is in trouble. The Lakers are waiting for Steve Nash to return from injury and answer their prayers. Ain't gonna happen! Overall, LA's defense is weak and seems to be collapsing in the 2nd half this season. In this matchup LY, the Thunder were obviously stronger. This year, the gap has widened. OKC is posting an average of 108.5 PPG at home. Durant and Westbrook are unstoppable. The Thunder have taken 7 of the L9 meetings over the Lakers, going 6-2-1 ATS. Take Oklahoma City. Thank you.
