Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Favored by Significantly Less on the Road Against Lakers for Game 3

Despite being favored by 15.5 points in Games 1 and 2, the spread on this one is cut nearly in half, and I think it has more than just homecourt advantage to do with it. Immediately following their Game 2 loss, the entire Lakers roster surrounded NBA official John Goble to complain about the perceived unfair whistle. That, followed by a social media push that “OKC gets officiated differently,” leads me to believe that the Thunder will receive no favors from the officiating crew in Game 3. It won’t matter, though. OKC is the better team by a lot, and if the Thunder can handle the pressure of playing on the road, this should be another double-digit victory.
