Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder roll into Los Angeles tonight to take on Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers in a Western conference showdown to cap off the 6 game slate in the NBA tonight.
Both of these teams have the post season in their sights and will go toe to toe tonight in Crypto.com Arena and it will be battle all night long.
The Thunder are continuing to surprise in the West, as they have won 7 of their last 10 games and currently sit 9th in the conference, poised for a play-in spot come play off time.
Only 1 game separates the Thunder and the 6th place Warriors so it is all left to play for in the last 3 weeks of the season and it continues tonight in Los Angeles.
The Clippers also have it all to play for, as they are sitting 5th in the West and only 1.5 games behind the 4th place Suns.
On the other side, though, only 3 games separate the Clippers and the 11th place Lakers. The Clips can't afford to let their foot of the gas now, and I don't think they will.
Tonight, however, I love the Thunder to cover the spread in this matchup.
Both of these teams are 4-1 straight up and ATS in their last 5 games so something has to give here.
The Thunder won the first 2 matchups this season and I like them to continue that success tonight, maybe not winning but keeping this game close and covering the spread.

Player Prop of the Game
Jalen Williams o9.5 Rebounds+ Assists (+100) BetOnline
I love this prop.
Williams has been awesome over the last month, doing a little bit of everything for this Thunder squad.
He has 10+ Rebounds+Assists in 9 of the Thunder last 11 games and 4 straight games.
For the plus money value, it is too good not to take.
I love his Double-Double as well for incredible plus money value as well.
Williams has a Double-Double in 2 of his last 4 games and had 10 rebounds but only 5 points last game.
Hard to not sprinkle the Double-Double here for the wonderful value.
Bonus: Williams Double Double: (+650)
