Once again this comes down to simple semantics. Just like the Golden State Warriors set last week, OKC is coming off a blowout loss and has to take the court again, on the road, against the same team. There’s nothing here to lead someone to believe the Thunder can cover. OKC could have Dort back in the lineup tonight but they are without point guard Theo Maledon. Is that enough to make up 17 points from Sunday’s performance? I don’t believe that it is.
Tonight, the Thunder continues their road trip as they take on the New York Knicks (19-43), who have won 2 of their last 3, but also only 2 of their last 9.

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.
