Thunder at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 117, Clippers 107
Moneyline
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Thunder (-285) should bounce back in a big way Friday, but are far too expensive to consider on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET THUNDER -7.5 (-105).
Despite having suffered back-to-back losses to the Trail Blazers, the Thunder have covered in 3 of their last 4 games as a favorite. They've tallied at least 114 points in 4 of their last 6 games, so they certainly have the scoring to pull away in this one.
The Clippers' defense has been atrocious. They are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 outings, mainly because they've allowed at least 117 points in each of those contests. Los Angeles ranks in the bottom 10 in offensive and defensive rating and hasn't proven it can compete with high-caliber teams like Oklahoma City.
Over/Under
BET OVER 222.5 (-110).
The Clippers have topped the total in 5 of their last 6 games, and while their defense has been awful, they've found ways to consistently score on the offensive end. Los Angeles has tallied at least 110 points in 5 straight games.
The Thunder are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games. Their typically dominant defense has shown some shortcomings with all their injuries, and they've allowed at least 112 points in 4 of their last 6 games. Considering those trends, back OVER 222.5 (-110).
