The Clippers have had an up-and-down start to their season, and now face off against the West-leading Thunder on the second night of a back-to-back. It’s probably going to be a tough one.

The Clippers are playing at home and are much healthier than the Thunder, but the Thunder are 7-0 for a reason: they have the best defense in the league and boast a clear top-five player in SGA. The Clippers can definitely win this one, especially if Dort and Chet are out, but they will need to be better on defense and more turnover-conscious on offense than they have been to pull out the victory.
