Why the Thunder Will NOT Cover (-4.5)
The Clippers enter tonight’s matchup with as the league’s hottest team having won 9 straight, including a 120-11 victory over the Mavericks in Dallas last night. Because they are on the second game of a back-to-back, and OKC has fresh legs, I’m taking the Thunder to come away with a one-possession win, giving LA the close cover.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (236)
The Thunder and the Clippers have a lot of firepower between the two squads, but both also play pretty good defense. I think because of all the star power, the offensive side of the ball will take over the game, resulting in a lot of points. Really, it will come down to how both teams are shooting the ball. Considering that both are in the top 5 in the league in both field goal percent and three-point percent, I’m guessing they’re going to hit some shots.
