Game Preview
On December 21 at Paycom Center, the Los Angeles Clippers (17-10) play the Oklahoma City Thunder (17-8) to wrap up their three-game road trip.
The Thunder have now conquered 2 straight after defeating the Grizzlies 116-97 in their most recent game. With that victory, they are now only 2 and a half games behind Minnesota, who leads the conference. OKC has a winning streak of four games at home and has won 17 games overall. Mark Daigneault’s team will be sure of victory today, led by the brilliant Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who leads their fifth-ranked offense. The Thunder, who allow 110.7 points per game, have defeated the Clippers in their last four home games. The lone possible absence for this game is Lu Dort, who is rated as “Questionable.” If they continue to play like this, they could potentially gain home-field advantage in a postseason series, though fans still doubt if they have it in them.
The Clippers’ nine-game winning streak is seriously threatened by their longer injury list going into this game. Paul George, Marcus Morris Sr., and Kawhi Leonard will not be available for Los Angeles. For the Clippers, Leonard and George lead the team in points scored each game, thus their absence will be felt greatly. Right now, Ty Lue’s team is playing extremely well and has the joint-longest winning streak of the season. They would match their longest winning streak from the previous 8 years with a victory here. Last time out, LA, who is presently playing the third game of a 3-game road trip, overcame Dallas 120-111. Leonard was the top scorer with 30, followed by 7 other players with double figures. Regarding other injuries, Mason Plumlee will be sidelined through at least mid-January due to a knee ailment, while Moussa Diabate will be out indefinitely due to a hip injury.
