Los Angeles Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder 4/10/22 NBA Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Los Angeles Clippers play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting routed by the Lakers in a 120-101 road loss on Friday. Jaylen Hoard led the team with 27 points, 17 rebounds and four assists, Georgios Kalaitzakis added 25 points with six assists while Zavier Simpson chipped in with 13 points and seven assists. As a team, the Thunder shot 45 percent from the field and six of 29 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Lakers until the fourth quarter where they managed just 19 points to allow the Lakers to run away with it in the end.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have started to heat up with five wins in their last six games and they will be aiming for a fifth straight victory after routing the Kings in a 117-98 win last night. Paul George led the team with 23 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists, Norman Powell added 20 points off the bench while Ivica Zubac chipped in with 15 points and 12 rebounds. As a team, the Clippers shot 48 percent from the field and a sizzling 21 of 43 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with their defense by holding the Kings to just 16 points in the first quarter to take the early lead, before they poured in 33 points in the third quarter to put the game to bed early.

Looking at the betting trends, the Thunder are 27-10 ATS in their last 37 road games, 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The Clippers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games against a team with a losing record and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Head to head, the under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings overall and the Thunder are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings overall.

The Thunder are still missing a total of nine players for this one including Tre Mann, Kenrich Williams and Derrick Favors, while the Clippers have ruled out Norman Powell, Paul George and Marcus Morris Sr. The Thunder will be looking to cap off their season on a high note, while the Clippers really have little to play for given that they’ve been locked into the eighth spot for a few games now. It’s always tough betting on the Thunder these days, but they are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings overall and the Clippers will be looking towards the playoffs.
