Clippers at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 122, Clippers 116

Moneyline

Both teams are playing very well. The Thunder have won 4 in a row at home. The Clippers have won 9 straight games and, while they are only 6-7 on the road this season, they are 6-1 in their last 7 road games. They have scored 119 or more in 5 straight games.

But the Clippers are winless in 5 games as the underdog this season while the Thunder are 11-3. At -175 odds, though, there is too much juice to make the bet other than as part of a parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Thunder are the much more reliable ATS bet as they are 17-8 ATS on the season. They are 10-4 ATS as the favorite. The Thunder have covered the spread in 16 of their 17 wins this season.

The Clippers are 1-4 ATS as the underdog.

BET THUNDER -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Clippers have scored 119 or more in 6 straight games, averaging 131.2 points per game, while the Thunder have averaged 125.8 points in their last 5 games.

This game should feature all offense.

BET OVER 235.5 (-115).
