Season Series
As can be seen, Thursday, March 23rd, finds the OKC Thunder facing the LA Clippers for the fourth and final time this season. OKC is seeking the sweep after taking both games in the initial baseball set on October 25th (108-94) and 27th (118-110) and then winning on Tuesday.
Last season, the squads played three times with the Clippers winning two of the three contests in the regular-season series. The Thunder holds the all-time record having bested the Clippers in 142 of their 227 matches.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, March 22nd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, March 23rd.
OKC Thunder
Every team has an opponent they match up well against and for the Thunder that has been the Clippers. Although the win Tuesday was a close battle that came down to a single point OKC just finds a way to beat LA.
I’d say Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has extra motivation to play well versus his drafting team but the truth is he’s consistently played that way against 99.9% of his opponents.
Stats
Offensively, the Thunder scores 117.6 points per game ranking fourth while shooting 46.7% from the field and 36% from deep ranking 22nd and 17th respectively.
Meanwhile, OKC limits opponents to 116.2 points per game rating 19th with them shooting 47% from the field and 35.8% from deep ranking 12th and 13th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kenrich Williams SF (OUT for season— wrist)
- Aleksej Pokusevski SF (OUT indefinitely— leg)
- Chet Holmgren, PF (OUT for season— foot)
LA Clippers
Losing to the Thunder was bad enough but also losing Paul George for at least two or three weeks on a nasty-looking injury where he hyperextended his leg has every sports show discussing how this might spell disaster (READ: falling out of the playoffs and play-in altogether).
Stats
On the negative side, presently, LA ranks 23rd for scoring averaging 112.7 points per game while shooting 47.2% from the field and 37.5% from the perimeter ranking 17th and seventh respectively.
Opponents average 112.4 points per game ranking ninth-lowest overall while allowing opponents to shoot 47.1% from the field and 36.1% from the perimeter ranking 14th and 17th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the LA Clippers injury report…
- Paul George SF (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- Norman Powell SF (OUT indefinitely —shoulder)
- Brandon Boston Jr. SG (questionable — tailbone)

Free OKC Thunder vs. LA Clippers NBA Prediction:
Without George in the lineup, the Clippers are 6-11 and will likely be without him for their final nine games with only one of those matches against a team with nothing to play for (Portland).
OKC is only one game back of the Clippers so if they sweep LA they’ll vault ahead of them because they own the tiebreak which makes this a MUST-WIN for the Clippers.
Just to add more drama – -remember, the Thunder has the right to swap first-round picks with the Clippers as part of the PG trade so you know fans in OKC are praying LA free falls right out of the playoff/play-in picture.
