Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers [10:30 PM ET]

Thunder: This will be the 3rd time this season the Thunder has seen the Lakers, and they are still looking for their 1st win this season. The Thunder are 1-1 ATS against the Lakers, having taken the Lakers to OT at home earlier this season. The Thunder are 13-13 SU this season, having lost 4 of their past 5 games SU. Oklahoma City is 6-6 SU on the road, including 7-5 ATS away from home. The Thunder are 1-2 ATS as a double digit underdog this season. The Thunder average 97 PPG as a team, led by F Kevin Durant. Durant is 4th in the NBA in scoring at 27.2 PPG. PG Russell Westbrook averages nearly 16 PPG, along with 6.6 APG. Oklahoma City struggles to score on the road, as they've only scored 100 PTS or more in 4 of their 12 road contests. The Thunder have the 7th best defense in the NBA, allowing only 95.9 PPG. The last 5 Thunder opponents have scored at least 95 PTS against them.

Thunder is 26-9 ATS last 35 games following a ATS loss.
Under is 6-0 last 6 vs. Western Conference.

Len's Top 5

Happy Tuesday everyone, here's my Top 5 for December 22, 2009 from Len Berman.

1. Quick Hits

In Monday night football, the Giants awaken and roll over Washington 45-12. Where was this team all season?
Former Green Bay and Seattle coach Mike Holmgren is the new president of the Cleveland Browns.
Pitcher Jason Marquis appears headed to Washington. The Staten Island native had voiced interest in pitching for the Mets.
The Yankees are the only team hit with a luxury tax this year. Because of their high payroll, they'll pay $25.7 million. Of the $190-million in luxury taxes paid by teams since its inception in 2003, the Yankees have paid $174-million of that total.
The AP names NASCAR driving champ Jimmie Johnson as the athlete of the year. I lean towards Roger Federer and his record 15th tennis major.

2. Revisionist History

Tiger Woods has won Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill tournament 6 times. His picture appears in the banner on the web site holding the trophy. Oops, not anymore. The web site has now been sanitized. It is a Tiger free zone. In one of the quotes of the year, the tournament director said the redesign was "not necessarily" prompted by Woods' recent infidelity. Oh.

3. M-V-P

So now that we answered the burning question of who won rings with both the Red Sox and Yankees, subscriber R.B. wants to know about World Series MVPs like Hideki Matsui winding up on a different team the following year. Well it turns out 1996 Yankees World Series MVP, reliever John Wetteland, pitched for Texas in 1997. And 1986 Mets World Series MVP, Ray Knight, played for Baltimore in 1987. It must be a New York thing! What have you done for me lately?

4. Goose Eggs

So who is the best athlete in the New York area? Before you knee jerk your baseball or football answer, it has to be Devils goalie Martin Brodeur. Last night he shutout Pittsburgh 4-0 to set the all time shutout record. An astounding 104 games. Clearly hockey is the step-child of pro sports, but that doesn't diminish what Brodeur has accomplished. A hall of famer in our midst, and clearly under-appreciated by sports fans in general.

5. It Figures

Now I've figured out why sports people are so sexually charged. There were side by side ads in one of my favorite New York tabloids yesterday advertising a sexual enhancement liquid and a Gentlemen's Club with continuous topless entertainment. The ads were in the sports section. I guess if they were on the op ed page then politicians would be involved in this stuff. No wait....

Happy Birthday: The great punter from the Oakland Raiders, Ray Guy. 60.
Bonus Birthday: American Idol winner Jordin Sparks (daughter of former Giants defensive back Phillippi Sparks). 20.

Today in Sports: The Coneheads arrive in the Bronx. Pitcher David Cone signs a 3 year $19.5-million contract with the Yankees. 1995.
Bonus Event: The Lincoln Tunnel opens connecting New York and New Jersey. Cars pay 50-cents. (Today it's 8-dollars heading to NY, no charge leaving town.) 1937.
