LA Clippers vs Oklahoma Prediction: Nobody Wants to Give Up

Prediction for the NBA match between LA Clippers vs Oklahoma, which will take place on January 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

If you take the league's beginning out of the picture, Tyronn Lue's team is the best in the Western Conference. The Clippers are going 19-6 in their last 25 games and 22-8 in their previous 30 meetings. Interestingly, only Oklahoma has an identical record in the West. However, the Clippers failed their last game. On the road, the California team did not find an antidote to Minnesota's top defense and lost in a tight end - 105-109. The critical factor was the work under the backboards. The Clippers were weaker than their opponent in rebounding - 34-41, allowing the Wolves to get to the free-throw line as many as 30 times.

Despite being an extremely young team, the Thunder are playing very high-quality basketball and have kept up in the first half of the regular season. With a 27-12 record, Oklahoma is second in the West, just 1.0 wins behind conference leader Minnesota. Like the Clippers, the Thunder lost their last meeting with the Lakers in Los Angeles, 105-112. Mark Daigneault's team attempted 49 three-pointers and made 15, but it wasn't enough.

The upcoming meeting is essential for both teams, as they are in the top 4 of the Western Conference and are essentially direct competitors. In this regard, we do not expect a high performance here - both the Thunder and the Clippers can slow down the pace and work well on defense. Let's bet on the total under.
