Clippers vs Thunder Prediction
The Thunder are still keeping eyes on Jaylin Williams, Ajay Mitchell and Luguentz Dort who are all questionable, while the Clippers have ruled out Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller again. The Thunder have yet to miss a step this season despite playing with a bunch of players on the injury report, and must be full of confidence after smashing the Pelicans by 31 points in their last outing.
The Clippers were on a nice run themselves before they ran into the Heat last night and lost despite a combined 56 points from Leonard and James. The Clippers are capable of pulling off the upset in this spot, but they are playing their second game of a back to back set, so I prefer to stick with the Thunder at the reasonable line in this spot.
