Sunday, April 10th, 2022 finds the OKC Thunder and LA Clippers playing for the third and final meeting this season. The teams have split the prior matches with the Clippers taking the November 1st match 94-99 while the Thunder won 104-103 on December 18th.
The Thunder last played Friday losing 101-120 to the Lakers while the Clippers beat the Kings 117-98 on Saturday and will complete the back-to-back set in this final game of the season.
Last season, the teams played three times with the Clippers taking two of the three contests. The Thunder holds the all-time record having bested the Clippers in 140 of their 223 matches.
OKC Thunder
For the second season in a row, the Thunder have struggled to be a tanking team. Sure, they have one of the worst records in the association but have won games no one expected them to.
The winning culture in OKC runs so deep that even with Mark Daigneault playing predominantly the reserve unit they still capture wins.
As a result, they’ve won three of their last seven matches and subsequently enter the final day of the season a game up on the Pistons.
Detroit, Orlando, and Houston have the three spots most desired (worst records) for the NBA Draft Lottery as that will give them the best shot of winning the top draft pick.
The Thunder have to hope they lose today and the Pistons win since that would mean they can slide down into that desired slot.
Tre Mann (hamstring) was downgraded to out Sunday.
Each of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Derrick Favors (back), Kenrich Williams (knee), Josh Giddey (hip), Darius Bazley (knee), Luguentz Dort (shoulder), Mike Muscala (ankle), and Ty Jerome (hip) are shut done for the season.
LA Clippers
With the Clippers locked into the eighth seed, they are approaching this final regular-season game with the intent of keeping their core fresh for the Tuesday play-in game.
Although the Nets are a scary proposition in the Eastern Conference with the return of Paul George and Norman Powell the Clippers are almost as frightening in the West.
That LA has more playoff experience than the Grizzlies if they end up facing each other it should be a highly competitive series.
Paul George, Norman Powell, and Marcus Morris Sr. will all sit in this final game for rest. Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out indefinitely. Jay Scrubb (toe) is lost for the season.

Free OKC Thunder vs. LA Clippers NBA Prediction:
Thunder forward, Jaylen Hoard has been beasting in these last few games putting up massive double-doubles including two performances where he collected 20 and 21 rebounds.
Through the last five games, he’s averaged 17.4 points and 13.4 rebounds plus 2.8 assists.
The Clippers just need to get their core group to the play-in game healthy so it makes sense why they’re sitting so many of their core so I like the Thunder to keep the score closer than 12 points.
