Prop Bets: Los Angeles Clippers VS Oklahoma City Thunder 2025-12-18
The Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Los Angeles Clippers: A Comedy of Errors (With a Heavy Favorite)
The Oklahoma City Thunder, 24-2 juggernauts with a 16-game winning streak (broken, but still very salty about it), host the 6-20 Los Angeles Clippers—a team so injury-ravaged they’re fielding a starting five that includes “probable” starters like Kris Dunn and “mystery” benchwarmers. The Thunder are -17.5-point favorites, which is about the same as the Clippers’ chances of winning the 2026 NBA title if they keep this season’s luck.
Why the Thunder Will Win (Statistically, Obviously):
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.0 PPG in December and is -118 to score over 30.5 points. Let’s just assume he’ll drop 35 and dunk on the Clippers’ depleted defense for fun.
- The Clippers are missing James Harden, Bradley Beal, and Kawhi Leonard, who combined for 45% of their scoring last game. Without them? The Clippers are basically a pickup team from the G League.
- The Thunder’s Chet Holmgren is -110 to grab over 8.5 rebounds. He’ll likely outrebound the entire Clippers’ frontcourt while also blocking dunks and asking, “Is that all you’ve got?”
Why the Clippers Might Not Deserve Sympathy:
- Their Kawhi Leonard is -128 to score under 23.5 points. After scoring 21 in their last loss, he’ll probably take the night off to “rest his legacy.”
- The Clippers’ over/under on three-pointers is 12.5, and they’re -154 to go under. Considering they shot 22% from deep in their last game, this’ll be a “watch them miss” special.
The Real Storyline?
The Thunder’s Jalen Williams (-114 to rack up 23.5 PPG/REB/AST) will outshine the Clippers’ John Collins, who’s -200 to “contribute” less than a lost sock. And let’s not forget Cason Wallace, who’s +450 to score first for the Thunder—though he’ll probably just airball his first three attempts for comedic effect.
Final Score Prediction:
Oklahoma City Thunder 129, Los Angeles Clippers 102 (Oklahoma City -17.5).
Prop Bets to Consider:
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 30.5 Points (-118): He’s got the Clippers’ backcourt’s confidence levels at rock bottom.
- Chet Holmgren Over 8.5 Rebounds (-110): He’ll clean up like it’s a trash-talking tournament.
- Clippers Under 102.5 Points: They’ll shoot like they’re playing in a blizzard.
In conclusion, this game is as one-sided as a Clippers’ injury report. Grab the popcorn—this might be the most points the Clippers score all week. 🏀🔥
