The Sailors are missing Kawhi Leonard badly. One of the team leaders is injured again. The Clippers' James Harden is trying to do something. He had a triple-double in the last game. However, that is not always enough.

1.85Tip and bets
The Clippers have roster issues. James Harden alone won't get them very far. The Beard efforts are often not enough for the Sailboats. This time they will face a well-coordinated team with one superstar on the roster. We believe that the Los Angeles team will not be able to withstand this opponent.
Our prediction is Oklahoma with a handicap of (-5.5) points at 1.80

Few teams can stop Oklahoma City, and we don't think the Sailors can slow them down either.
Forecast - total over 216.5 points for 1.65
Bet on statistics
Oklahoma has scored less than 128 points in 2 of its last 3 games. We expect the Thunder to please us with similar performances.
Prediction - Oklahoma: total over 109.5 points for 1.75
