The Clippers and Thunder meet for the second time as Los Angeles looks to avenge the early season loss.
Los Angeles is 6-4 on the season and won all four games since the 105-92 home loss via Oklahoma City. The Clippers beat the Spurs (113-104), 76ers (110-98), Kings (107-98), and Raptors (105-103) since the loss, but those teams have a combined 14-26 record.
Oklahoma City is 8-2 and suffered its second loss of the season last night to Golden State (127-116) and lost Chet Holmgren for 8-10 weeks in the process (hip). This is the third game in four days for the Thunder and the third back-to-back of the season (2-0). The last time that Oklahoma City played on a back-to-back was against Los Angeles, who they beat 105-92.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Clippers to keep it close in Oklahoma City:
“When these teams met the first time, the Thunder were on the second night of a back-to-back, similar to this spot and Los Angeles had two days of rest.
Being down Chet Holmgren is a big deal for Oklahoma City on short notice against a team that has won four straight. Despite Los Angeles’ four wins coming against teams a combined 14-26, I think the Clippers could keep this within 7 points.”
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Clippers and the Thunder:
· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds value in taking Los Angeles on the ML (+215)
· Spread: NBC Sports has low confidence in Los Angeles +7 on the spread
· Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 218.5 points
