Clippers vs. Thunder: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Oklahoma City Thunder play the LA Clippers on Tuesday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

The game starts at 7 p.m. CT and can be seen on Bally Sports Oklahoma.

The Thunder (0-3) look to get their first win of the season as they play short-handed against the LA Clippers (2-1), who will be without Paul George.

The Thunder will be without arguably their four most important players: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams.

Clippers at Thunder notable injuries

Thunder: Chet Holmgren is out due to right foot surgery. Jalen Williams is out due to an orbital fracture. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is out due to a hip contusion. Josh Giddey is out due to an ankle sprain.

Clippers: Paul George is out due to a non-COVID illness. Marcus Morris Sr. is out due to personal reasons. Jason Preston is out due to G League assignments. Moussa Diabate is out due to being on a two-way deal.

Advice and prediction

This is going to be a rough one for the Thunder if Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey do miss the game. The Thunder had trouble generating offense in their blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves when both were gone, and I expect that to carry over to this game.

Meanwhile, the Clippers were blown out by the Phoenix Suns in their last game and will look to amend that with a win against a young and rebuilding squad. George being out hurts, but the return of Leonard should ease the pain.

I think the Clippers win this game pretty easily due to all of these factors.

Prediction: Clippers 113, Thunder 98
