The Clippers are coming off a win in their last game when they beat the Timberwolves in a thriller, 109-107, their second win in a row, a streak which has the team above .500 on the year.

Oklahoma City won a thriller of their own in their last game, beating Washington 106-105 in overtime on Saturday. Point guard Russell Westbrook continues to defy logic, playing 30 minutes in the game, putting up 13 points and four assists with four rebounds. Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka each put up a whopping 46 minutes. Durant racked up 33 points and 13 rebounds with six assists, and Ibaka scored 25 with 13 boards. The team outrebounded the Wizards 58-41, including a 16-7 edge on the offensive glass.
Defensively, the Thunder had plenty of trouble guarding the three-point line, allowing the Wizards to connect on 12-of-29 shots from long distance for a conversion rate of 41 percent. Wizards guard Bradley Beal was also allowed to put up 34 points in 42 minutes.
The Clippers’ 5-3 record is not all that impressive, but the team has won all three of their home games so far this season. Even with that being said, Oklahoma City is clicking on all cylinders right now, so it is hard to go against them, but with a Thursday night showdown in Golden State looming for the Thunder, the look ahead factor could pose an issue.
The Clippers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games.
