Thunder vs Clippers prediction

Thunder vs Clippers best bet: Thunder -7.5 (-110)

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter tonight’s matchup as heavy favorites over the Los Angeles Clippers, and the move from -4.5 reflects both market confidence and Kawhi Leonard’s uncertain status.

OKC continues to set the league’s defensive standard, posting a 104.2 defensive net rating while holding opponents to just 40.3 points in the paint and 35.6% from deep.

Their ability to turn defense into offense has resulted in 24.6 points per game off turnovers, which should give them a decisive edge against a Clippers team allowing 23.5 points off miscues.

If Leonard sits on the second night of a back-to-back, L.A. loses its top on-ball defender and most reliable mid-range creator. That leaves James Harden to shoulder most of the scoring burden against the NBA’s best perimeter-defending unit.

The Thunder’s rest advantage, depth, and solid ball control make them the side to back tonight.

Thunder vs Clippers same-game parlay

Cason Wallace is seeing increased scoring chances, as Ajay Mitchell is limited by a sore glute. Wallace has scored at least 10 points in each of the last two games and in three of his previous six.

OKC boasts the best defense in the game. Three of their previous four meetings with the Clippers have gone Under the total, and with Leonard possibly sitting, I’m firmly on the Under.
