The Oklahoma City Thunder completed the season sweep of their matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers last night as they defeated the Blazers 129-121 in overtime. Now, the Thunder has to play the Clippers in Los Angeles, the third matchup of a four-game road trip, on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Clippers have seen a lot of roster shakeup this season, but even still, they are holding on to the 8-seed in the Western Conference standings. At 4 games ahead of the Sacramento Kings, who are in 9th, LA looks comfortable, but they certainly do not want to risk any chances.

The Thunder owns a 2-1 edge over the Clippers in head-to-head matchups so far this season, and the one win for LA came at home in the second game of the season. The Clippers are considered a slight favorite when you factor in that they are playing at home, and OKC played a late one just last night, but if the Thunder can play with the same energy that they had in Portland, they should be able to move on to the next one with another win under their belt.
