BetMGM moved Oklahoma City from -10.5 to -11.5 for Monday's Game 4 in Los Angeles, with the Thunder also listed at -500 on the moneyline against the 0-3 Lakers.
95% of the money tracked by BetMGM was on Oklahoma City, reflecting a market convinced the Thunder can finish the series in a sweep.
Three straight wins by 18 points or more and a seven-game winning streak over the Lakers have fueled that confidence, even with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaging just 21.0 points in the series.
42.3% Thunder 3-point shooting has also widened the gap, led by role players Jared McCain, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Jaylin Williams, who are a combined 25-for-41 from deep.
Los Angeles has led in the first half of Games 2 and 3 before losing by 18 and 23, leaving Game 4 as LeBron James' latest bid to avoid a fourth career playoff sweep.

With role players shooting an unsustainable 61% from three, how vulnerable are the Thunder when their hot streak inevitably ends?

Is OKC's dominance real, or are they just capitalizing on a Laker team crippled by Luka Dončić's absence?
