Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers were hoping to build on their blowout win over the Kings on opening night but they were no match for the Lakers who beat them by 125-117 on Friday night. Darius Garland led the team with 26 points and six assists, Brook Lopez added 22 points while Derrick Jones Jr and Rui Hachimura each scored 16 points. As a team, the Clippers shot 49 percent from the field and 16 of 37 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Lakers in a close contest until the third quarter where their turnovers really cost them. The Clippers committed a total of 25 turnovers as a team and Garland was the worst culprit with nine turnovers.
Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have stormed out of the gates with a pair of blowout wins and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Nuggets in a 96-84 home win on Thursday. Jalen Williams led the team with 21 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 17 points while Chet Holmgren chipped in with 12 points, 17 rebounds and four blocks. As a team, the Thunder had a rough night on offense as they shot just 38 percent from the field and 11 of 43 from the 3-point line but this win was all about their defense as they trailed for most of the first half, before they restricted the Nuggets to just 36 points in the second half to make it look easy in the end. The Thunder forced a total of 22 turnovers, six of which were on Jamal Murray which kept the Nuggets in check.
Los Angeles v Oklahoma City Free Prediction
The Clippers are still missing Max Strus, Brandon Ingram, Jordan Mille and Bradley Beal, while the Thunder have ruled out Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic again. The Clippers were good enough to run past the lowly Kings in their first game despite the injuries, but they struggled against the Lakers and I expect a similar outcome for this one. The Thunder have looked like a team on a mission so far and it;s no surprise to see them as heavy favorites here. The Thunder are just masters of forcing turnovers and I think their elite defense will feast on the Clippers who are still learning to play together.Give me the Thunder to win in a massive blowout at home.
