Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Clippers Preview

If form were to define this game, then it would not even begin. Oklahoma City Thunder come into their home game after four straight defeats and the Los Angeles Clippers have fared only a little better with three straight defeats. The loss of form will be of more concern for Clippers’ head coach Doc Rivers who saw his side perform so well throughout the first six games of the season but as the campaign progresses, his LA side are looking a little sick. The same can be said for a Thunder side who still expect to be challenging in the top four this season and although that may still be the case, this game is an opportunity for both sides to improve their NBA odds and show the Western Conference they mean business.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction

The Clippers entered this season knowing they would likely be one of the sides battling for a latter playoff position in the conference whereas Thunder will have expected comfortable progression. The season is long and with players such as last season’s MVP Russell Westbrook and now Carmelo Anthony to back him up, Oklahoma will rise again. With home advantage and the Clippers falling back to roughly where they belong, Thunder to get the win is the only way this one will go and is one of our best NBA betting tips for Saturday’s games.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Clippers Betting Tips

Although the Clippers sit above Thunder in the conference table, you can expect that to change and quickly. Both sides have only one win in their last five but LA have looked less convincing and their victory came over a Dallas Mavericks side even an amateur side could probably beat at the moment. Oklahoma beat a solid Milwaukee Bucks side on Bucks’ turf and despite four losses after that, Thunder’s margin of losses have been slightly less than that of the Clippers. Betfair have the best outright prices for this game as many bookmakers immediately go for a Thunder handicap but we feel that it is too risky. Both sides should be doing better and both will at some stage get back on track again as their NBA betting tips start to favour them again somewhat. However, that will happen sooner for City Thunder than the Clippers as the home side rumble once more.

Taking poor form into account, the chances of a high scoring game seem rather distant in the latest NBA odds and we agree. Over the last ten meetings between the two, an average of 205 points have been scored during their ties. However, remarkably, it is the Thunder’s games in general that have not produced much in the way of points. Just 200 on board has been the game average in the last ten for Oklahoma games and that trend is likely to continue in two sides feeling the heat. 10Bet offer a whole range of submarkets but we go with their under market because it offers close to evens odds and a very realistic chance of walking away a winner. Their under-price is there for the taking so grab it with both hands and sit down and enjoy this epic showpiece between two sides desperate to impress.
