But the Thunder have the motivation to go all out. They&#8217;re a win away from clinching the NBA&#8217;s best record and first seed. The Clippers have played a lot better since the last time they squared off, but OKC has had LA&#8217;s number for a couple of seasons now. The Thunder are too fast and athletic for the Clippers. Even with Leonard playing like an All-NBA member. This should be a close game, but Gilgeous-Alexander should put this one away late.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Prediction:\u00a0Thunder 114, Clippers 107<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Get more betting analysis and predictions at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbookwire.usatoday.com\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sportsbook Wire.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_ld_p\">Gambling involves risk.
