Thunder computer picks

Jalen Williams Over 15.5 points (-120)

Projection: 17.4 points

This is our computer’s top-rated Oklahoma City Thunder player prop for tonight, clocking in with a 17.9% EV edge.

Jalen Williams has hit 16+ points in five of his last eight overall, and his ability to get to the foul line can help him here.

“This year, opposing starting PFs have attempted 4.1 free throws per game (9th-highest in the NBA) vs. the LA Clippers, succeeding in their efforts to get to the free-throw line.”

Chet Holmgren Over 14.5 points (-130)

Projection: 15.4 points

Chet Holmgren has reached the 15-point plateau in six of his last 10 and 13 of his last 20 overall. He’s cleared this line in five of his last six on the road, including a 15-piece vs. the Lakers last night.

The system sees Holmgren hitting the Over once more tonight, with projections at an 11.4% EV edge.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 3.5 rebounds (-150)

Projection: 4.3 rebounds

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is known more for his scoring than his rebounding, but our computer sees SGA pulling in at least four boards tonight, making this a three-star play.

Gilgeous-Alexander takes on a Los Angeles Clippers defense that’s allowed the sixth-most rebounds to opposing point guards this season.

Clippers computer picks

Derrick Jones Jr. Over 7.5 points (-112)

Projection: 9.3 points

Our computer’s top pick for tonight with a 22.6% EV edge is Derrick Jones Jr. Over 7.5 points. His scoring projection is 9.3 points, well above his posted line, due to his projected foul shot total.

“This year when [the Clippers] are at home, the opposing team’s starting PFs have attempted 4.9 foul shots per game (7th-most in the league) vs. the Thunder, easily managing to get to the foul line.”

Kris Dunn Over 5.5 points (-111)

Projection: 7.0 points

Our system sees Kris Dunn clearing a very low scoring bar tonight, and doing so rather easily. There’s a 21% EV edge associated with this prop.

The Clippers are the sixth-highest scoring offense in the league over the last 25 games, and opportunities should be there vs. a traveling Thunder team that just played last night.

Kawhi Leonard Under 27.5 points (-120)

Projection: 25.5 points

Kawhi Leonard’s production is decreasing slightly as the season wears on. He’s fallen below 27.5 points in six of his last 10 overall, and our computer believes he’ll come up two full points shy tonight, making this a four-star wager.

“Opposing team’s starting SFs have averaged 25.5% on threes (2nd-weakest in the NBA) vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder, branding this as a tough matchup. The LA Clippers have played at the 3rd-slowest pace-of-play in the league this year.”
