Thunder are off a tight 116-115 win over the Heat on Wednesday, while the Clippers steamrolled Denver 124-111 in their last outing.

Oklahoma City is 4-3 SU and ATS over its first seven games, while LA is 4-3 SU and 5-2 ATS.

The Clippers played to two straight unders when they entered the bubble but they've since seen the total eclipse the posted number in five straight.

The Thunder have seen the total go over in four of their seven games, but note that they've seen it go over the posted number in three straight as well.

What's interesting as well for Oklahoma City is that it had to overcome a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Heat last time out.

Andre Roberson seems to be rounding back into form for the Thunder, he had just six points in ten minutes vs. the Heat, but he's an important defender and he was on Jimmy Butler most of the night...Roberson was considered one of the league's top perimeter defenders before a knee injury in 2018.

The Clippers have nothing to play for here now after their win over the Nuggets, as they've wrapped up the second seed in the West and they're going to face seventh-seeded Dallas in the playoffs next week.

The Thunder also can't move up or down with a win here, they're tied with the Rockets for fourth place right now and they'll be playing Houston when the playoffs start.

These two teams are coming off victories, they're locked into their playoff spot, they don't want to suffer injuries.

I think each just goes through the motions today and I believe the total will indeed go under once it's all said and done.

Good luck...NP
