Even when shorthanded, OKC is still putting up points, scoring 132 pg in three wins the past week despite being alternately out SGA, Jalen Williams, Lu Dort and others. SGA will play tonight in Inglewood but Jalen W and Dort likely not, and instead of teams like the Sixers and Hornets, OKC will face someone willing to punch back in the Clips, who've won 8 of 9 and scoring up their own storm on this homestand, posting 128 pg in romps past the Hornets, Cavs, and Griz. Note the last time LA faced OKC January 2, the Clips were minus Kawhi Leonard (yet to face Thunder this season) and James Harden...they're ready tonight. LA on 16-8 over run; OKC 11-5 over run. Play Thunder-Clippers Over

In the three earlier OKC wins (all January 34 or earlier), the Thunder didn't face Kawhi Leonard. In the last meetings on January 2, James Harden was also out for LA in a 116-98 loss. Note the one time the Clips were relatively healthy vs. OKC this season they did get a spread cover November 11 at Paycom Center. This time, the injury shoe is on the other foot, as while Harden and Kawhi are available, keys cogs on the OKC side like Jalen Williams and Lu Dort are likely out. The Thunder have taken care of business vs. lesser foes in the last week while shorthanded, but now face a Clippers side full of confidence after wins over the Cavs and Grizzlies. Play Clippers

Clippers are playing good ball and are hard to fade at home, but OKC is a different class and beat them in 3 meetings already by 6, 13 and 18 points and are wrecking people with their bench and G Leaguers. I expect pretty close a full lineup for OKC here. They've won 12 of 13 and covered 10 of 12 (8 covers by 5+ points) and have covered 6 straight on the road. Too much pace for the Clippers. LAC just 23-21 vs West and 16-20 ATS with equal rest. Thunder playing with a chip on their shoulder and this had been a bad matchup for the Clip Joint.
