Thunder vs Clippers Game Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thunder | -6.5 (-115) | -260 | O 226.0 (-110) |
| Clippers | +6.5 (-105) | +215 | U 226.0 (-110) |
Legal sports betting sites give the Thunder a 6.5 point edge over the Clippers in LA, leading the season series 2-0 and winning each of the first two matchups by 19+ points.
Jalen Williams is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury that has plagued him this season after being held out on Tuesday night against the Lakers.
It may have been precautionary, as Williams had played six of the team’s last seven games prior to Tuesday since returning.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Record Over 40.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-105)
The reigning league MVP has yet to score 30+ points in a game in April, but that is likely to change tonight against the Clippers. Tonight will be the second half of a back-to-back for the Thunder, which would make one think that fading SGA at NBA betting sites is the smart move.
However, Gilgeous-Alexander has been dominant in games played on the second night of a back-to-back this season, averaging 32.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game in nine games, clearing the 40.5 PRA mark in seven.
He has also averaged 45.5 total points, rebounds, and assists in his two games against the Clippers this season, scoring 30+ points and over 40.5 PRAs in each game.
The Thunder can also clinch the top seed in the conference with a win tonight, which gives another reason for SGA to lead the Thunder to a win and rest for the remaining two games.
Oklahoma City Thunder To Cover -6.5 Point Spread (-115)
The Thunder have won 18 of their last 19 games, their lone loss coming against the Boston Celtics in late March. During that span, 12 of their wins have come by seven or more points, including eight of their last nine.
The Clippers are no stranger to big deficits, with each of their last two losses coming by double figures, both of which were also at home.
