Thunder vs. Lakers prediction, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 118, Los Angeles 114
This will be OKC's first chance to face Los Angeles' new duo of LeBron James and Luka Doncic. It'll be a challenge for the Thunder, but the team is loaded with capable defenders such as Lu Dort, Alex Caruso and Jalen Williams. OKC will also have the edge in the frontcourt with its big-man duo of Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. I'm going with the Thunder in a close one at home.
