*10* SURE SHOT on LA Clippers.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been one of the hottest teams in basketball of late with seven wins in their last eight games. Tonight they'll face a fierce opponent when they travel to Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Clippers though, and I think the Clippers are looking good in this match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Motivational - The Clippers will be looking to bounce back from a pair of defeats at Houston and San Antonio. Expect them to come out giving their all in front of the home-town crowd tonight.

2. Situational - The Thunder are just 10-22 ATS in their last 32 road games against a team with a winning home record and the underdog have covered in six of the last seven head-to-head meetings.

3. X-Factor - The Clippers took two of three from the Thunder last season as Chris Paul averaged 24.3 points and 9.7 assists while Russell Westbrook averaged 15.0 points, 5.3 assists and 6.0 turnovers.

Selection: This is a play on the Los Angeles Clippers (10*)
