Tough loss for the Thunder last night vs. the Lake Show. but this isn't like a normal back-to-back as OKC didn't have to leave its hotel after last night, playing as it is again at Crypto.com tonight. The Thunder has lost consecutive games just once since the end of November and thrashed the Clips 134-115 in the last meeting on Dec. 21 when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31. SGA was on the floor and contributing last night against the Lakers, allaying recent injury concerns, and while the Clips were minus Kawhi in the first meeting, they still allowed OKC to hit 59% from the floor. Play Thunder

James Harden has found his groove with the Clippers. While he only had eight assists versus the Timberwolves on Sunday, that broke his streak of eight straight games with at least nine assists. The Timberwolves have the best defensive rating in the league, so still coming away with eight assists against them is noteworthy. The Thunder have the fifth-best defensive rating in the league, but they have played at the sixth-fastest pace. Harden should have the ball in his hands a lot, which gives him a favorable opportunity to reach this Over.
