As the Lakers gear up to host the Thunder, all eyes will be on Luke Kennard, but the smart money might be on the under for his combined points and assists at 25.5. Sure, Kennard's capable of lighting it up, but recent form tells a different story. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 9.6 points and 3.6 assists, and it gets even grimmer at home, where he's only mustered 6.4 points and 1.6 assists.
