Oklahoma City Thunder Ready to Dominate Against Clippers with Favorable Line Shift
After a rough start to their season, the Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to turn things around against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. The Thunder have been hit by injuries to several key players, but they are hoping to get a boost from the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder have lost six of their last eight games and are currently 10th in the Western Conference. The Clippers, on the other hand, are 7-5 and are in fifth place in the West.
Line Shift Favors Thunder
The Thunder are favored by 2.5 points against the Clippers, according to PointsBet. This is a significant shift from earlier in the week, when the Clippers were favored by 3.5 points. The line shift is likely due to the return of Gilgeous-Alexander, who is one of the Thunder's best players. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 21.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game this season.
Thunder Have History Against Clippers
The Thunder have a good history against the Clippers, having won three of their last four meetings. In their last meeting, the Thunder won 118-110 at home. Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for the Thunder with 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Thunder Need to Play Together
The Thunder need to play together as a team to beat the Clippers. They have a lot of talented players, but they need to find a way to gel on the court. If they can do that, they have a good chance of winning.
