LBJ's ball handling has been suspect lately and his legs seems to get the best of him this late in the season this late in his career. Austin Reeves doesn't have the greatest handle, either. Eight ball-handling guards or forwards are over this against the Lakers in the last 7 games. Lakers allow 8 steals/game, 22nd in the NBA. SGA is over this in 6 of the last 10 road games, and has 3 steals in each of the last two. SGA averages 1.9 steals/G on the road this season.

This is an unusually high combo line for SGA who averages approximately 11.1 Reb + Ast. It is also worth noting this is the second leg of a back to back for the Thunder and Alexander played a whopping 38 minutes last night. It wouldn't shock me if SGA gets the night off, but if he does suit up, it's hard to imagine him playing more than 35 minutes. Look for Thunder HC Mark Daigneault to potentially go a bit deeper into his bench tonight.
