Thunder at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 116, Clippers 112
Moneyline
PASS.
I like for the Thunder to pick up the win and cover here as -160 favorites, but with Williams still out, I recommend passing and betting OKC on the spread.
Against the spread
LEAN THUNDER -3.5 (-105).
Oklahoma City has covered the spread in its last 5 games and is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 contests. The Thunder are also a dominant 45-22-4 ATS this year and are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games against the Clippers.
This is a slight lean as the Clippers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games and are also a very good 38-31-1 ATS this season.
Over/Under
BET OVER 228.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Clippers and is 7-3 in their last 10. For OKC, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 games and is 38-31-2 this season. The Over is also 4-2 in the last 6 matchups between these squads.
Be aware that these are 2 of the top 4 defenses in the NBA, both holding opponents to under 109 points per game, so the Over is slightly risky here.
