Oklahoma City Thunder vs LA Clippers Prediction

I was thinking about the Clippers and the points because they have the residual advantage at home and Harden has been on a roll this season. However, the Oklahoma City Thunder are on fire as they are undefeated this season and have played four of their first five games. OKC was a cash cow for NBA bettors last season, and that remains true this year. I have no interest in letting the thunder fade as long as the tickets continue to be honored. I'll set the points.
