Oklahoma City Thunder (27-5) play hosts to the Los Angeles Clippers (19-14) at Paycom Center in NBA action on Friday. The Thunder are perched at the top in the Western Conference league standings, while the Clippers are sixth. Here's our match prediction.

Oklahoma City Thunder has been sensational this season and they still are very much committed to their aspirations of winning the NBA Championship. 

The Thunders have won 12 of their last 13 matches with a 97-81 defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks being an exception during this impressive run.

In their most recent match, they beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-105 at home on Wednesday. This result extended their winning streak to seven matches.

Los Angeles Clippers on the other hand have also been performing to the required standards lately. They have won five of their last seven matches but only managed to surpass 120+ points on one occasion.

The Clippers saw their three-match winning streak come to an end on Wednesday as they suffered a moral-sapping 122-86 away defeat against the San Antonio Spurs. 

However, that shouldn't deflate their motivation as they head into this clash with three wins in their last five away matches. 

Tyronn Lue's men average 108.8 points per game and are ranked 23rd in the league while on defense they allow 107.8 opponent points per game and are ranked fifth..
