Our Thunder vs. Clippers NBA player props based on the best NBA odds are backing Russell Westbrook in a matchup against his former team on Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder (27-12) are staying in Los Angeles following Monday's loss to the Lakers, hoping for a bounce-back win over the Clippers (25-14) on Tuesday. These two teams met on Dec. 21 in Oklahoma City, with the Thunder securing a 134-115 victory.
With the rematch slated to take place inside Crypto.com Arena, the Clippers are considered 6.5-point favorites in a Western Conference showdown. This game will be the nightcap of a doubleheader on TNT, and we have a few props worth staying up for.
To accompany our Nuggets vs. 76ers player props, here are our best Thunder vs. Clippers NBA player props and NBA picks (odds via our
best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
Thunder vs. Clippers NBA player props
To be honest, I could stop the support on this pick after explaining how the price moved while writing this pick. FanDuel moved the value on this Over from +106 to +102, while the rest of our best sports betting apps were more dramatic with the shift and are only offering minus-odds for Westbrook to record five dimes. Grab this bargain at BetRivers.
The market clearly understands we should see more playing time for Westbrook in this one. Ivica Zubac was a late-scratch ahead of Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, forcing the Clippers to play more small ball. This meant 29 minutes for Westbrook, who finished with a stat line of 12 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds. It marked the most minutes for Westbrook since he played 30 against the Thunder on Dec. 21.
With Zubac already listed out, Westbrook should see an increase in playing time once again. Even if he doesn't, Westbrook is capable of clearing this line as the primary facilitator off the bench. With a projection of 5.4 assists, this Over should be priced closer to -150, so we are getting a steal at plus money.

While you can get a plus-money price on Over 5.5 rebounds for Westbrook in this one, we don't mind paying the juice to take this prop at 4.5 instead via ESPN BET. With a plus-money ticket already on the card, the argument for this wager is much of the same as the last one.
Westbrook's eight rebounds marked a personal-best in January, but he has grabbed at least five rebounds in three of his eight games t his month. In that loss to the Thunder on Dec. 21, Westbrook grabbed a season-high 13 boards.
Although projections are calling for only five-plus boards, it's difficult to quantify Westbrook's effort against his former team. This could be a good leg for any same-game parlays, but this is also a five-star play on its own.

We anticipate SGA to make a statement on Tuesday night when TNT is broadcasting the biggest MVP contenders. Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid are slated to battle in the first game after claiming the last three MVP awards, but the nightcap could be a chance for SGA to establish it is his time now.
Gilgeous-Alexander, who is playing through a knee sprain, had his lowest offensive output of the month with 24 points in a loss to the Lakers on Monday. It actually marked the first time he didn't score 30-plus points since Dec. 31.
The Clippers will clearly be interested in replicating that game plan, which could force the ball out of SGA's hands at times. He still finished with six assists against the Lakers, and projections call for him to record 6.4 dimes against the Clippers.
With the rest of our best sportsbooks charging as much as -150 juice for this Over, take advantage of FanDuel's favorable price while you can.
