Smart Game Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder has a 88% chance of winning the game
The defending champion Thunder are overwhelming favorites to extend their dominant 24-2 start against a slumping, injury-depleted Clippers team missing multiple stars.
Key Analysis
- • Oklahoma City holds a league-best 24-2 record and a massive +16.5 net rating.
- • The Clippers are missing key scorers Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal, leaving them severely limited on offense.
- • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.4 points per game and scored 30 in the first head-to-head blowout win.
- • Los Angeles has lost four straight games and is just 1-9 in their last 10 contests.
- • The Thunder possess the NBA's top-ranked defense, allowing only 106.3 points per game.
- • To compete, the Clippers must rely entirely on Ivica Zubac dominating the paint in the absence of OKC's Isaiah Hartenstein.
