- The Lakers won the last meeting with the Thunder at home, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander only scored 24 points and we should see much better from him in this game.

The game of the night in the NBA on Monday could end up being the Thunder vs Lakers matchup from Los Angeles. In that game, we expect the Thunder to come away with a victory in what should be a close game at crypto.com Arena. While OKC is on the second night of a back-to-back, they are better on the defensive end of the floor and they should be able to use that to beat a Lakers team coming off of a demoralizing loss to the Denver Nuggets.
