Clippers at Thunder notable injuries
Thunder: Chet Holmgren is out due to right foot surgery. Jalen Williams is out due to an orbital fracture. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is out due to a hip contusion. Josh Giddey is out due to an ankle sprain.
Clippers: Paul George is out due to a non-COVID illness. Marcus Morris Sr. is out due to personal reasons. Jason Preston is out due to G League assignments. Moussa Diabate is out due to being on a two-way deal.
Advice and prediction
This is going to be a rough one for the Thunder if Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey do miss the game. The Thunder had trouble generating offense in their blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves when both were gone, and I expect that to carry over to this game.
Meanwhile, the Clippers were blown out by the Phoenix Suns in their last game and will look to amend that with a win against a young and rebuilding squad. George being out hurts, but the return of Leonard should ease the pain.
I think the Clippers win this game pretty easily due to all of these factors.
Prediction: Clippers 113, Thunder 98
