Following the Oklahoma City Thunder’s sweep of the Phoenix Suns in the first round, they’ve been largely dominant thus far in the second round against the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, the defending champs go on the road to try and take a 3-0 lead, so we’re here to share our best Thunder vs. Lakers predictions for Game 3.

Even fans in OKC and LA without legal sports betting will be able to enjoy making Thunder vs. Lakers picks after claiming a GUARANTEED Polymarket promo code bonus!

🤔 Thunder vs. Lakers Predictions for NBA Playoffs Game 3, 5/9

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company have won back-to-back games to open this series by 18 points, which is far from shocking for them. Frankly, those are mild blowouts for OKC, and by scoring 125 in Game 2, they helped us easily cash our Thunder vs. Lakers predictions and NBA expert picks with over 209.5 (232 were scored).

That was without Luka Doncic for LA and Jalen Williams for OKC, and both are expected to be out for Game 3 as well. Luka’s hamstring injury is one that we’ve known is severe, and as for Williams, there is simply no reason for them to rush him back if they’re already blowing teams out and will likely have extra rest after this series.

Ok, let’s not just discuss this as if it’s already over and lock in the best bet from our Thunder vs. Lakers predictions for Game 3!

🔥 Thunder vs. Lakers Best Bet: LA Team Total Under 102.5 (Use Polymarket To Make Picks On Anything)

After going with (and cashing) the overall game total, we’re sticking with another total of sorts. This time, we’re isolating things to just the LA side of the matchup and expecting them to be held in check even more than they already have been. In that regard, our Thunder vs. Lakers predictions shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

The series started with LeBron James and company scoring just 90 points, as Austin Reaves had an awful matchup with OKC. He has historically done extremely poorly with their defense and depth, but his recent 31-point performance helped us hit the over. However, that is an extreme outlier.

Even beyond just Thunder vs. Lakers picks, when LA was beating the Houston Rockets in the first round, it wasn’t by lighting up the scoreboard. In fact, in their final three games of that series, they scored just 96, 93, and 98 points. Without Luka Doncic, they simply don’t have the firepower.

After this line was 96.5 most recently, we’re taking the Lakers team total under 102.5 (trade contracts on anything with Polymarket) as the best bet from our Thunder vs. Lakers predictions for Game 3.

✍🏼 Thunder vs. Lakers Injury Report & Latest News

Since we’ve seen Austin Reaves return for a few games now, the big Thunder vs. Lakers injury in LA remains Luka Doncic. He may not make it back at all for this series if they get swept, so he won’t be a factor in any picks. Unfortunately, he’s not even the only notable Thunder vs. Lakers injury.

OKC has also been without Jalen Williams, and after not needing him for much of the regular season, they likely won’t for this series either. Therefore, there is no reason to rush him back. Of course, keep tabs on more than just Thunder vs. Lakers injuries with our Fantasy Alarm NBA injury report!
