The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Los Angeles Clippers and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.

The game tips off at 9 p.m. and can be seen on FOX Sports Oklahoma.

The Thunder (6-7) were blown out by the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Their attempt to get back to .500 will be a difficult one given the stature of Los Angeles.

The Clippers (11-4) are on a five-game win streak that has elevated them near the top of the Western Conference. Kawhi Leonard and Paul Goerge have combed to average more than 50 points per game during that stretch.

How to watch: Thunder vs. Clippers

Advice and prediction

Last game, I wrote the Thunder would be a risky but worthwhile bet against the Denver Nuggets if you believed they’d lose by less than 10. This game, I’d stay away. The Clippers are one of the hottest teams in the league, Kawhi Leonard and Paul Goerge can contain OKC’s best players, and Al Horford remains out after his wife gave birth. I’m not confident that the Thunder, who average the fourth-fewest points scored and are dropping in defensive rankings, can prevent a blowout against the Clippers, who are top-10 on both sides of the ball and are averaging almost 125 points per game during this win streak.

Prediction: Clippers 120, Thunder 101
