Oklahoma City Thunder hold a commanding 74% implied probability as Western Conference second-round favorites against the Los Angeles Lakers, driven by their status as defending champions, league-best 64-18 regular-season record, and home-court advantage starting Game 1 on May 5. The Thunder swept Phoenix 4-0 in the first round behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP-caliber play, while dominating the Lakers twice recently (139-96 and 123-87 victories). Lakers advanced 4-2 over Houston with LeBron James' 28-point Game 6 clincher, but Luka Dončić's lingering hamstring injury leaves them shorthanded, contrasting OKC's depth despite Jalen Williams' hamstring absence. Trader consensus reflects Thunder's superior form, matchup edges, and playoff momentum.
