Oklahoma City at Los Angeles

A big game out West as the Clippers have won four straight and eight of their last nine to put themselves in position to overtake the Thunder for the number two seed in the West. You don't find talented Oklahoma City a dog very often as they are a team with so much firepower and talent. OKC is tops in the NBA in points scored, 13th in points allowed and the best team in the West defensively (second in the NBA) allowing .429% shooting by opponents. The Thunder is 33-15-3 ATS against the Western Conference and 25-12-1 ATS playing on one days rest. Oklahoma City has won each of the first two meetings with the Clippers and Kevin Durant has averaged 27.9 points and 7.8 rebounds in 20 games against the Clippers.  Durant went for 32 points on 12-of-19 shooting in the Thunder’s 109-97 win at Los Angeles on Jan. 22, and was 19-for-21 from the free-throw line en route to 35 points in a 117-111 overtime victory over the Clippers on November 21. OKC is in bounce back mode after a close loss at Denver the last game and the Thunder is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following a loss. Play Oklahoma City.
