Clippers vs. Thunder Prediction & Pick

With the Thunder playing some of their best basketball of the season and the Clippers trying to figure things out now without Paul George in the lineup, it's the perfect recipe for OKC to take home the win. Yes, they're playing in LA, but they did so on Tuesday as well. This is already projected to be a close game, but the Thunder's momentum should be enough to put them over the top.

Prediction: Thunder 108 | Clippers 104

Clippers vs. Thunder Best Bet

In his eight games played since the All-Star Break, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear. His total points prop sits at 31. 5 tonight. While that's almost exactly his season average (31.4), he's putting up 35.0 points per game since the All-Star Break and has hit the over on this total in six of those games. He scored 29 and 31 in the two games where he fell short, so he didn't miss by much.

Bet: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-104)
