The Clippers are coming into this game with a 36-17 record this season and they are currently sitting in 3rd place in the Western Conference. They have been a very hot team over the last few weeks but they were not playing great going into the All Star break. They only won 2 of their last 4 games with those 2 wins coming against the Warriors and the Pistons, both teams that has struggled to stay above .500 this year. They have also been weaker on the road this season as they are 16-11 with most of their losses this year coming on the road. They have won their last 5 straight games on the road, but only 2 of those wins came against teams with winning records in the Heat and the Warriors. They are going up against a Thunder team that is 37-17 this season and is currently sitting in 2nd place in the Western Conference. The Thunder went into the All Star break winning 2 straight games as they beat the Kings and the Magic by 10+ points in each game. They have also been a domninant team at home this season as they are 21-6 there. They have won their last 4 straight games at home as well and they are going to be hungry to win this game at home since this is a game with big implications for the number 1 seed in the Western Conference. The Thunder will also be hungry for their revenge here as they lost their last meeting with the Clippers in LA, but they did beat the Clippers by close to 20 points in earlier meeting this season in Oklahoma City. The Thunder have a very good young team that has been playing very well all season and they are not going to rest until they have the number 1 seed in the Western Conference locked up. The Thunder will cover the spread in this game.
