Assists per game: The Thunder are putting up 21.6 assists per outing while Los Angeles is averaging 23.7 per game.
Points allowed per game: Oklahoma City is giving up 97 points per outing while the Clippers have allowed 93 points on average this season.
Thoughts: The Thunder are coming off a loss to the Denver Nuggets in overtime on Sunday while Los Angeles lost in Golden State last night. With both teams coming off a loss, I expect both teams to come out with a lot of energy early on. After a low scoring, tightly played game, look for the Clippers to squeeze out a win so give me Los Angeles with the point and the under.
