Clippers vs Thunder Prediction
The Clippers have been solid through two games given the cards they’ve been dealt, and they’ve covered both games as well. The problem is the Thunder are healthy and are rolling at both ends of the floor. OKC has been a cash cow in each of the last two or three regular seasons, and that hasn’t changed here through two games. This Thunder defense has been impressive as well. It’s a large number, but I don’t believe in the Clippers enough to step in front of the Thunder. OKC has been one of those teams you blindly back. I’ll lay the points.
