The team acquired John Wall in the offseason who started in 40 games last season averaging 20.6 points per game and 6.9 assists per game.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of LA Clippers' last 5 games on the road.

LA Clippers are 1-9 SU in their last 10 games when playing on the road against Oklahoma City.

The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Oklahoma City's last 10 games.

Oklahoma City are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.

Prediction

The Clippers struggled without their 2 starts Leonard and George against the Thunder who got their best player back in Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder were struggling offensively but they looked different with their star back in the game. The Clippers are clearly the better team here but playing on the road is always tough so I think the best play is the under.
