Why the Thunder Will Cover (-7)
OKC needs just one win in the final three games of the season to clinch homecourt advantage through the playoffs. The Clippers are still fighting for position in the standings, so each of their remaining games is incredibly important. While I do think this is a close game, the Thunder is obviously the better team and has been playing lights out basketball recently, so I like them to win this one comfortably.
Why the Game Will NOT Hit the Over (226.5)
OKC has been on fire from downtown the last few games, and LA’s offense has had some explosive performances recently. Still, the Thunder defense is suffocating opponents lately, and while I think this meeting is closer than the previous two between these teams, I’m still seeing a lower total score. I like the under on the point total.
