Oklahoma City Thunder vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Thunder continue to win and cover numbers and it’s hard to step in front of them. It’s even more of a case now that the Thunder have the best record in the NBA and have the motivation to keep things rolling in hopes of locking up the top overall seed. The Thunder are 3-0 SU against the Clippers this season and have won eight of the last 10 games against them overall. However, I’ve been paying close attention to the Clippers over these last couple of weeks and things are starting to click. With wins in eight of their last nine games, including beating the Cavs, the Clippers are quietly looking like a team that can make noise in the West. With a 25-10 record at home, the Clippers will be up for this game and have a chance to win it based on their current form. Give me the points with the Clippers in this must-watch game.
