Thunder at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 114, Thunder 111
Moneyline
PASS.
At 19-16 at home this season and facing a Thunder team that is just 13-21 on the road, the Clippers are a justifiable favorite in this matchup. At -270 odds, there is no profit to be made on a moneyline bet.
Against the spread
LEAN THUNDER +6.5 (-105)
At 42-26-3 ATS this season, the Thunder have been a profitable spread play this season. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 Tuesday games.
The Thunder is 19-12-3 ATS on the road this season while the Clippers are 16-19 ATS at home. The Clippers have struggled recently playing on little rest; they are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 day’s rest.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 238.5 (-115)
The Under is 3-2 in the Thunder’s last 5 games. For the Clippers, the Under is 4-0 in their last 4 games after allowing 100 or more points in the previous game. The Under is 6-4 in LA’s last 10 games, including the last 2 games.
Most importantly, the Under is 26-9 in Clippers home games and until proven otherwise, hammer the Under whenever they play in front of their home crowd.
