Superstar NBA handicapper Matt Rivers, the sports betting guru never dies. He saysThunder plus the points. They are getting six at the LA Lakers according to SportsBook

Kevin Durant and the Thunder did not play a very good game one and they paid for it for the wrong NBA betting result. The Lakers are the world champs and have a clear advantage in the paint, which has scared me off of a pay play on Oklahoma City, but in a small deal I am staying on the young and talented visitors.

Ron Artest gave Durant some problems and will probably do that again but with everything said the Thunder still missed covering game one by only half a point and have the makeup to not only compete but steal this game. Sure Kobe is a superstar and Bynum and Gasol are big bodies that will get theirs in the paint but there is something about this Okie City squad that I just love. These guys are not going to go down in flames and just get swept here by the champs. They’re just not.

Westbrook proved in the opener that he can dominate Derek Fisher or whomever and I do believe Durant will be a lot better in this game.

I am not sold on the Lakers right now, even with that last win, as they are just not firing away on all cylinders and playing like the championship team from a season ago. We have seen a lot of frustrations in the latter part of the season and game one was not a turning on the switch and dominating type of an effort. Phil Jackson’s squad has not risen to the level they would like and I would not be too shocked if we see an outright so I’ll grab the points once again with the younger Thunder.
