Josh Giddeys playing time and role in the Thunder offense fluctuates on a nightly basis. This looks like one of those spots where Giddey may play <25 mins and it is a tough matchup against a Clippers squad that is top 5 defensively but also play a slow pace. Look for Giddey to struggle in this spot.

Josh Giddey has favorable home splits. While he's been in a bit of a slump averaging 13.8 in his last 13 games, his home average is 17.3 (17-9 to the over). The Sportsline Model makes the number 17.
How healthy is Kawhi Leonard? He missed the Clippers' finale pre-break with an adductor strain and then managed only 10 minutes in the All-Star Game. Also note this is the front end of a B2B. Maybe we get lucky and Kawhi sits (not counting on that). OKC is 21-6 at home and will see the team debut of trade acquisition Gordon Hayward. I thought that was a very underrated addition, although it depends on Hayward staying healthy, which he hasn't been able to do.
