Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Los Angeles Lakers
This Lakers vs Thunder matchup will feature both teams without their star players. Luka Doncic is expected to sit out Monday’s contest due to a mild hamstring injury, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been ruled out until after the All-Star break with an abdominal problem.
The Thunder are the odds-on favourites, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the Lakers come out on top. Los Angeles have been trending in the right direction of late. Riding a three-game winning streak, they’ve won four of their last five, including their 105-99 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

The duo of LeBron James and Austin Reaves is doing a good job to fill the void left by Doncic, while the Thunder have struggled to replace Gilgeous-Alexander’s impact. OKC have lost twice in a row without their star floor general and dropped three of their last five overall.
The return of Jalen Williams (hamstring) is a boost for the Thunder, but the Lakers are playing too well right now. Expect them to secure a victory here and exact revenge for the November meeting, when Oklahoma City cruised to an easy 29-point victory.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Player Prop
- Prop Bet: LeBron James over 21.5 points
With Doncic out and Reaves still working his way back from a 19-game absence due to a calf injury, the Lakers are expected to rely heavily on James.
The star forward posted 20 points, seven rebounds, and 10 assists in Saturday’s win over the Warriors and has recorded 20 or more points in four of his previous five outings.
James has hit the over on the 21.5-point market in 12 of his 19 appearances since the beginning of January. With Doncic sidelined and Reaves still on a minutes restriction, chances are James will surpass this mark once again.

- SGP: Under 221.5 points + Chet Holmgren over 18.5 points + Austin Reaves under 20.5 points
Don’t expect this to be a high-scoring affair. Even though the Lakers have been involved in several shootouts, as seven of their last 10 encounters have produced 220 total points or more, the absence of both teams’ star players could keep the scoring down.
Their lone previous head-to-head meeting also finished below the 221.5-point threshold.

The Thunder are likely to lean heavily on Chet Holmgren as a primary scoring weapon with Williams limited and Gilgeous-Alexander out, which gives him a reasonable path to the over in this 18.5-point line.
Reaves, on the other hand, remains productive but could stay below the 20.5-point mark since he continues to play off the bench while on a minutes restriction.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
Los Angeles Lakers Team News
The Lakers have already ruled Doncic out due to his hamstring injury, but the expectation is that he won’t be out for long. Based on recent reports, Doncic could return against the Spurs on Tuesday in the second leg of this back-to-back set.
The team might be without another starter in Deandre Ayton, as the big man is nursing a knee injury. That said, his probable status suggests the veteran could suit up and return to the starting lineup in place of Jaxson Hayes. Adou Thiero, a rookie, is sidelined with a knee injury as well.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
The Thunder will be without Gilgeous-Alexander, but they’re also receiving some good news with the return of Williams. The star forward is set to return to the hardwood following a 10-game absence, as his previous appearance came on January 17 in a defeat to the Miami Heat. He should handle a big role on offence right away.
Oklahoma City will be depleted in backcourt depth since they’ll also be without Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) and Nikola Topic (illness), though neither is likely to return to action before the All-Star break. Rookie big man Thomas Sorber is out for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign while recovering from a knee injury.
