Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Los Angeles Clippers Prediction, Odds and Tips

The undefeated Oklahoma City Thunder visit the Los Angeles Clippers, who are still waiting for their first home win of the new season. Who will prevail? Find out in our Thunder vs Clippers prediction.

Things have been going smoothly for the OKC Thunder so far, despite the team struggling with injuries to Jaylin Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein. Interestingly, the Thunder also struggled on the perimeter, only failing on 33% of their attempts – and yet they sit atop the Western Conference at 5-0. The duo of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren have really stepped up on offense, but it's not just them. OKC has 9 players in the rotation who play at least 15 minutes per game.

LA really wants to get something going at the Intuit Dome. The shiny new arena was great to see, but the Clippers just can't seem to shake off the monkey and win the first game there. They just lost two in a row to Portland and Phoenix, and the Thunder are arguably the toughest opponent they will face so far this season. Kawhi Leonard is still nowhere to be found; Norman Powell has moved aggressively to fill the void. OKC will be playing for the second night in a row, so fatigue could be a factor. All three of the Clippers' home games have been close, so I don't think they'll be eliminated despite the talent discrepancy here. They are 10-1 SU in 11 home games against Oklahoma City. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and give LA back, plus the sizable markup.
