Here's what some CBS analysts had to say about Lakers vs OKC
Botkin: Thunder in 4. Luka Dončić and Jalen Williams are both dealing with hamstring injuries, but Williams is a much safer bet to be back in this series. And, besides that, he's damn near a luxury for Thunder. Dončić, on the other hand, is pretty much everything to the Lakers in a series this demanding. Calling back-to-back sweeps for OKC.
Gonzalez: Thunder in 4. In the penultimate week of the regular season, the Lakers were cruising. They had won 15 of 17 games. Luka, LeBron and Austin Reaves were all healthy. Then they went to OKC, suffered their worst loss in years, and Dončić and Reaves got hurt. The best the Lakers can hope for here is that everyone makes it out healthy.
Herbert: Thunder in 4. Even with Jalen Williams out, OKC's defense and depth is going to be a lot for Los Angeles to handle. I hope Luka comes back and makes this interesting, but I'm not counting on it.
Maloney: Thunder in 5. The Thunder are just better, and have a far greater ability to withstand Jalen Williams' absence than the Lakers do to withstand Luka Dončić's absence. Even with Austin Reaves back, how are the Lakers possibly going to score enough in this series?
Quinn: Thunder in 4. There is absolutely no shame in this. The Lakers have already vastly overachieved just by reaching this point. But they're not going to be able to score on Oklahoma City without Luka Dončić, who is still week-to-week. The Lakers needed wild early series shooting variance, Kevin Durant's injury and quite a bit of Houston dysfunction to escape the first round. Oklahoma City is better, deeper and more disciplined. This could've been a competitive series, but with their best player still hurt, the Lakers just don't have much hope here.
Salerno: Thunder in 5. Even if Luka Dončić were healthy, I would still give OKC the edge. The Rockets won the statistical battle against Los Angeles, but the key difference was shotmaking. The Thunder will make the Lakers pay in that department. It's hard to count out LeBron after he helped his team pull off a major upset against Houston, but the Thunder are a different beast.
Wimbish: Thunder in 5. The Thunder aren't the Rockets. The Lakers aren't just going to win games because the other team lacks an offensive identity or has injuries to star players. Austin Reaves being back helps matters. But without Luka Dončić for the entirety of this series, I feel this will be over before Dončić can even return.
