In Los Angeles, there\u2019s already talk that Paul could upset the LeBron\/Durant applecart and be named the league\u2019s MVP. Unlikely, but there\u2019s no doubt that Paul and Paul alone is responsible for the Clippers\u2019 move to the top of the NBA.<\/p>\n
And with James unable to get the Heat to show any interest in playing hard consistently, it could be a Paul-Durant MVP race \u2013 with games like tonight\u2019s playing a huge factor.<\/p>\n
Paul\u2019s bruised knee is balanced by general fatigue that the Thunder could be experiencing. OKC has played those two consecutive draining OT games on the road, and tonight\u2019s game is the third of a seven-game road swing (Golden State, Sacramento\/Seattle and the Lakers are up next).

At some point even the best players have to cry for their mothers when the road gets too tiring.<\/p>\n
Durant hardly seems bothered by the travel. He stiffed Dallas for 52 and then had 37 more in the Denver game, fueled by a phenomenal performance from the free throw line, where he has made 41 of his last 42.<\/p>\n

Both the Thunder and the Clippers are excellent cover teams. OKC is 24-15-2 against the number and Los Angeles is 25-17. But the difference tonight should be Paul having to play for the second night in a row when it\u2019s clear that his knee is not at 100 percent.<\/p>\n
Russell Westbrook will no doubt push the tempo early if Paul plays, which could lead to a high-scoring game. Liking the Thunder to cover as well as the over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
