- Analysis
- At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Oklahoma City/Los Angeles Lakers game. The Thunder have had the league's best defense the past 2 seasons, and they've gone UNDER in Game 1 six of seven times. Overall, in the Playoffs, the Thunder are 26-17 UNDER their last 43. Likewise, the Lakers tend to go UNDER in Game 1 of a Playoff series (25-12-1 UNDER their last 38, including 4-0 UNDER the last three seasons), and have also gone UNDER in 14 of their last 19 playoff games. Six of the last nine meetings between these teams have gone UNDER the total. Finally, the UNDER falls into a Playoff totals system of mine which has cashed 69.6% since 1990. Take the UNDER. As always, good luck, Al McMordie.
