We came in with a winner for our forum visitors yesterday as the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies easily goes over the total. Tonight we stick with the NBA as the LA Lakers open up a road trip to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tip off is at 8PM Eastern Time and you can watch if live nationally on NBA TV. With our free pick we will play the LA Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder under the total of 194. With Ron Artest on the Lakers the talented newcomer has not looked for offense and has put more of his attention to the defensive end of the court. Artest is more of a spectator on offense right now for the LA Lakers. He hasn’t figured it out in the Lakers triangle yet. Oklahoma City has not run much looking to play better defense and they have, giving up no more than 40.6% shooting to anyone opponent this season. The Thunder struggled shooting against a good defensive team in Portland last time out hitting on just 34% of their shots. With Bynum and Artest around the paint the point total will be lower than usual as Pau Gasol is out with a bad hamstring. Bet the under.

Bet LA Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder Under 194.
