AAA's VERY EARLY WEST-COAST EXPRESS (+$10,416 Y-T-D NBA!)
(NBA) LA Clippers vs. Oklahoma City,
Point Spread: 4.50 | -115.00 LA Clippers (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* WEST-COAST EXPRESS on the LA Clippers.

While I obviously feel that the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I expect the visitors to at the very least, sneak in through the back door down the stretch. I think the Clippers will be the "hungrier" side today, they've lost three straight and one more setback would represent the teams longest slide this season. LA returns to OKC for the first time since the Playoffs in which the team lost Game and 5 on some controversional calls, and then eventually the series in front of the home town crowd in Game 6: "That game is still on my mind," Clippers' forward Blake Griffin said last night. "It's the one game I've probably watched the most in the year's time. I couldn't tell you how many times I watched that over the summer." While LA did beat the Thunder 93-90 on October 30th, it would fail to cover the spread in that one, and the "revenge" could not have felt all that great with Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant sitting out due to injury. Durant returned in his team's 116-113 loss to New Orleans on Friday, but note that home side will be without the services of backup center Kendrick Perkins, who was suspended for one game by the NBA on Saturday for head butting the Pelicans' Tyreke Evans. "Guys need to step up, we need to find a way and we need to be better," Griffin continued. "You can't get too low, but our sense of urgency needs to go sky high right now." Note that LA is 5-4 ATS this year after playing three consecutive road games, while OKC is just 12-17 ATS vs. good offensive teams which average 99 plus points per contest. This one is coming right down to the wire in my opinion, grab the points with the CLIPPERS.
