Over/Under Pick: Over 236½
There is a lot of offensive power with the Thunder and Clippers, so we expect a high-scoring contest.
Despite the Clippers scoring only 105 points in their most recent game, they had scored totals of 128, 126 and 138 in their last three wins.
Sport betting markets expect the Thunder to deliver plenty of points as well, and it could be the most exciting game of the day.
Moneyline Pick: Clippers
We liked what we saw when the Clippers won three consecutive games before losing to the Timberwolves.
This NBA bet line has the Clippers favored to win and rightfully so. The Thunder’s confidence took a hit on Monday when losing to the Lakers, and another Los Angeles team could hand them another loss.
It’s hard to bet against the likes of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and James Harden, so include the Clippers in NBA parlays.
How would you feel if the Los Angeles Clippers win the Championship This Year?

Pick Against the Spread: Clippers -6
The Thunder play consecutive nights – albeit in the same venue, so they’re prime for the taking.
The Clippers are rightful favorites with home court advantage, and although the Thunder played on this court in their last game, it won’t help their cause.
We’re happy to take the Clippers, who are keen to avenge their loss to the Thunder.
Player Prop Pick: Kawhi Leonard Over 26½ Points
Leonard averages 24 points per game and we think he will exceed that number against the Thunder.
Shooting at better than 50 percent from the field, Leonard is the focal point of the Clippers’ offense, and he should lead them to victory.
He’s due a breakout scoring performance, and we’re including him in our picks against a Thunder defense which is thin in the paint.

Which team will make the most 3-pointers?
The Clippers are a solid 3-point shooting team, but the Thunder should make more shots from deep.

The Thunder could find it tough to handle the Clippers, especially since LA is 16-4 at home.
