Analysis
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. We lost with the Clippers on Wednesday and have a quick shot at revenge. Los Angeles closed as seven-point favorites and are now favored by five points fewer with Paul George being lost for a couple weeks but he is not worth a five-point swing and not many players are as those points are made up elsewhere. Los Angeles is still in the No. 5 spot in the Western Conference, sitting one game behind Phoenix for the first round home court advantage spot and just a game and a half from being forced into the play-in tournament. Oklahoma City is now 8-2 in its last 10 games following a five-game losing streak so it is trending the right way. The Thunder are right in the playoff mix in the Western Conference as they are tied with Dallas for the No. 7 spot while trailing Golden St. by just a half-game to avoid the play-in. It was a solid road win on Wednesday but the Thunder are still just 14-21 on the highway and playing a team without a star in their first game is always a challenge with the rest of the team stepping up. Here, we play on favorites revenging a straight up loss as a home favorite of seven points or more, off an upset loss as a home favorite. This situation is 37-9 ATS (80.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (528) Los Angeles Clippers
