Oklahoma City Thunder vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Thunder are beating up on teams but they’re on the end of a back-to-back and have nothing to play for with the first seed locked up. The Clippers played last night but don’t have to travel and they gave Kawhi the entire fourth quarter off last night. The Clippers are also fighting for seeding in the play-in tournament and have to keep winning to keep Portland off their back. You’re giving me points with the home team that’s still playing for something. I have to side with the Clippers and the points.
