The Oklahoma City Thunder are at home to take on the Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder are just a half-game ahead of the Clippers in a battle for second and third place in the Western Conference. They have played twice this season, with the home team winning each game. The Thunder have won four of the last six between these two going back to last season. The Clippers had won six of weight before the break. OKC had won five of seven going into the break. The Thunder have a top notch defense that holds the top spot in many defensive categories. It will be this defense that carries the day in this one.They will be able to slow down the BIG 3 of the Clippers and have offensive weapons to take advantage of empty Clipper’s possessions. The Thunder have held the upper hand in this matchup, especially on their home court. I like the Thunder to hold onto second place and put some distance between the two teams.

Play on OKC. This is a 3% play.
