Los Angeles Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Picks

The upcoming game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder presents an opportunity for the Clippers to seek revenge for their previous loss to the Thunder on December 21. Despite the Thunder securing a 134-115 victory in their last meeting, circumstances have changed, and the Clippers have shown improvement since then.

The Clippers will be playing at home, where they have demonstrated strength, winning each of their last 11 games as home favourites. Additionally, they have a track record of covering the spread in their last seven games as favourites after experiencing a loss as favourites.

The Thunder, on the other hand, face the challenge of playing on zero days’ rest, and the potential absence of key player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could impact their performance.

• Selection: Clippers -5.0
• Best odds: 1.90
• Bookmaker: bet365
• Stake: 6/10
