: L.A. Clippers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Preview

On the season the Clippers are 28-36 ATS and they have an O/U record of 27-34-4 and the Thunder are 30-31-2 ATS and they have an O/U record of 28-35.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

This season the Thunder are 21-8 at home and the Clippers are 17-14 on the road.

In their last games the Clippers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 89-76 and the Thunder beat the Toronto Raptors 108-104.

Kevin Durant is still out for the Thunder, but with Russell Westbrook playing out of his mind OKC has still won 7 of their last 10 games. In his last 6 games Westbrook has 5 triple-doubles and in that span he is averaging 36.8 ppg, 12 rpg, and 11 assists per game. He recently overtook James Harden as the league’s leading scorer.

The Clippers are a solid 6-4 in their last 10 games, but they are still without Blake Griffin. On top of that Chris Paul is banged up and while he had 15 assists in the win over the Timberwolves he only had 2 points on 1/6 shooting.

The Thunder rank 15th in the league in opponents’ points allowed and they have to play good perimeter D tonight facing the great shooters of Paul and J.J Reddick. On top of Griffin out and Paul injured Jamal Crawford (16.4 ppg) is still out with a calf injury.

These 2 teams have split the 2 games facing each other this season.

Not only is Westbrook playing well, but Serge Ibaka has taken up the scoring slack with Durant out and has scored a combined 46 points in his last 2 games.

The Clippers’ defense only ranks 19th in the league in opponents’ points allowed. Playing D will be key for them tonight, as when the Thunder score at least 100 points at home they have won 17 of 19 games.

[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

It is key that the Thunder man up on Clippers C DeAndre Jordan, who is coming off a 20-point 17-rebound game and he leads the NBA in rebounding.
