Advice and prediction
In only a handful of games, the Thunder have shown why bets for or against them are risky. Sometimes, they’ll play competitively and not only cover the spread but win with 120 points. Sometimes, they’ll flunk out and barely break 80 points.
The Clippers have averaged just below 86 points per game over their last three contests, marking what is, on paper, an interesting matchup between the two teams. Like the Thunder, Los Angeles has only had one reliable scorer and creator this season, but both George and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have had inconsistent starts to their seasons.
What may separate the two is 3-point shooting. Los Angeles was the best 3-point shooting team last season, while the Thunder are awful from beyond the arc. If the Clippers can carve some breathing room there, they should get the win they so desperately need.
Prediction: Clippers 104, Thunder 92
