It took OKC’s worst shooting night of the season for the Spurs to pull off the narrow victory, and it won’t soon be forgotten. The Thunder has their off games—just like any other team—but one thing they do well is bounce back in a big way. OKC lost consecutive games just twice all of last season, and considering how heavily favored they are in Thursday night’s matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers, it’s not likely to happen now.
The last time these two teams met was a 126-107 victory for the Thunder in Los Angeles, and Thursday night’s matchup may have a very similar result.

OKC is the hottest team in the league right now with 12 straight wins, and the Clippers haven’t been playing too badly themselves. LA has won 5 of their last 7, but when they lose, they lose big. In their last 8 losses, they have lost by double digits 7 times with 5 of those taking place in their last 10 outings. The Thunder should win, and because of how each team has been playing—as well as LA’s trend to not just lose but lose big—I’m taking OKC to cover the spread.

The Oklahoma City Thunder could be without Chet Holmgren for a while after he took a hard fall early in the Thunder’s 127-116 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night. With a lack of depth in the frontcourt, the Thunder will have to play plenty of small ball for the time being, and they get their first challenge on Monday night as they host the LA Clippers.

No Chet Holmgren is certainly going to make this a more interesting game than the spread might show. Ivica Zubac has an opportunity to punish the Thunder in a number of ways—particularly when it comes to rebounding—but I believe in OKC’s ability to play fast enough to force him off the court, so I’m taking the Thunder’s depth to push them into a convincing win after a disappointing loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Tonight, the Thunder hosts Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers (22-9). The Thunder played the Clipper in a close game in Los Angeles earlier season, and this is George’s first game back in OKC since being traded to LA last summer, so it could be a game full of different emotions.
