Free Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Los Angeles Clippers NBA Prediction:
The Clippers are going to come out with the momentum in this one, but the Thunder do have a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night that is very winnable.
Then again, the Clips are the ones with a night’s rest, even though Oklahoma City doesn’t have to do any traveling.
