4* Thunder/Lakers NBA Late Night ESPN Moneymaker: Thunder -5.5

The Lakers were able to make it respectable against the Spurs in their last game, but they had to fight their way back from a double-digit deficit in the 4th quarter. I will gladly take my chances on the Thunder winning this game by at least six points with Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard sidelined. Oklahoma City should be able to dominate this game inside and out. I look for Russell Westbrook to dominate this game from start to finish. Steve Nash has no chance of keeping him from getting to the hoop and without Howard to protect the rim, Westbrook is going to get a lot of easy baskets. I look for the Thunder to easily win this game by double-digits! BET OKLAHOMA CITY!
