Thunder vs. Lakers Predictions, Picks & Odds: NBA on Peacock, 2/9

The first post-Super Bowl NBA slate is upon us, and it is certainly not disappointing. The league knew what they were doing with a 10-game slate that features a Peacock doubleheader, which wraps up in LA with the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder. Even with no SGA, we’ve got our best Thunder vs. Lakers predictions for tonight. 

Even if that lack of star power has you wanting to focus on plays other than Thunder vs. Lakers picks, we’re still going to be hooking you up with a GUARANTEED Onyx Odds promo code bonus!

🤔 Thunder vs. Lakers Predictions for NBA on Peacock, 2/9

No, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is not something that we can just gloss over, especially with how much he affects any OKC game, not just Thunder vs. Lakers predictions. He was ruled out and to be reevaluated AFTER the All-Star break with an abdominal injury, and he’s far from the only Thunder player banged up.

Although they got Alex Caruso back recently, they were still without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell in Saturday’s loss to the Houston Rockets. Not to be outdone, we have LA injuries that will also affect Thunder vs. Lakers picks. Deandre Ayton is listed as probable, but more importantly, Luka Doncic is OUT.

Admittedly, being so close to the All-Star break makes locking in NBA expert picks a bit more difficult, as we’ve seen all sorts of blowouts and weird results recently. Even still, we’re here to make sure that you’ve got a best bet from our Thunder vs. Lakers predictions!

🔥 Thunder vs. Lakers Best Bet: Los Angeles +6.5 (-110 at Onyx Odds)

With Luka officially out and OKC getting back Jalen Williams, it’s no surprise to see the Thunder vs. Lakers odds clearly favoring the road team. However, we also can’t just ignore the fact that LA also recently got back Austin Reaves. So, while it may be a tough one to swallow, our Thunder vs. Lakers predictions have them keeping this game competitive.

It wasn’t pretty when these teams met earlier this season, but in that game, other than SGA’s 30 points, the Lakers held all other OKC starters to 14 or fewer points. In fact, the 14 was from Ajay Mitchell, who is out alongside SGA tonight. On top of all that, it was also a game in which LA was without LeBron James.

Since the return of Austin Reaves, LA has won three straight games, including one against a red-hot Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. Even if they don’t pull off the outright upset, we’ve got LA +6.5 (-110 at Onyx Odds) as the best bet from our Thunder vs. Lakers predictions.
