LA Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Travis Pulver | in NBA Picks

The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to make it four in a row against the Los Angeles Clippers when they host James Harden and Co. tonight at the Paycorn Center. The action will get underway at 8 p.m. ET.

After closing out 2024 with a loss to the Spurs in San Antonio, the Clippers would love to get 2025 off to a solid start with a win over the hottest team in the NBA this season, Oklahoma City. However, if they are going to pull off a road win over the Thunder, they’ll have to do so without Kawhi Leonard, who is still working his way back from a knee injury. To up the challenge factor a little more for the Clippers, this game will be their third in four days. So, if they are tired, it’s understandable.

To beat the Thunder, the Clippers will need James Harden and Norman Powell to have their best games of the season. Powell actually leads the team in scoring with 24.3 points per game, followed by James Harden with 21.9. However, it may not matter against a Thunder team led by the NBA’s second-leading scorer,  Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31.3 points per game). He’s been on a tear of late, scoring 40+ points in three of his last five games.

  2. The Clippers have not won in Oklahoma City since the 2019-20 season.

Our LA Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Clippers are outmatched and outclassed in this game. At full strength, they might be able to keep up for one-half. But, undermanned, they don’t stand a chance against Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder. Oklahoma City is on a roll, losing just two games in the month of December. They’ll take the momentum they’ve built up over the last month to get out to an early lead and never look back.
