A day after blowing out the Lakers, the Oklahoma City Thunder stay in Los Angeles tonight to face the Clippers in a Western Conference clash.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues his offensive tear for the Thunder, commanding the floor alongside Chet Holmgren. Meanwhile, the Clippers lean on Kawhi Leonard and James Harden to protect their home court.
Online sportsbooks are siding with the defending champs in the latest NBA odds, but I’m more interested in attacking the player props market. There I’ll be targeting both Leonard and Lu Dort, so keep reading for the latest odds and the reasoning behind my selections.

Los Angeles enters this game against the NBA Championship odds favorite looking to maximize its offensive trips despite a grindingly slow pace. The Clippers shoot an impressive 48.6% from the floor with a stellar 60.3% True Shooting Percentage on just 83.5 field goal attempts per game. High efficiency in a slow-paced halfcourt offense means their primary scorers are highly dependable even when shot volume is relatively low.
As a result, Kawhi Leonard over 25.5 points is my top NBA props target tonight. On the other side, I’m also betting over 1.5 made threes for Dort, getting plus-money odds in the process.
OKC Thunder vs LA Clippers Best Player Props to Bet
- Kawhi Leonard Over 25.5 Points (-108 at DraftKings)
- Luguentz Dort Over 1.5 Made Threes (+101 at FanDuel)

While the Thunder feature an elite point-of-attack defense, Leonard’s home-court splits are simply too dominant to ignore. He has been the undisputed offensive engine for Los Angeles, taking on an even heavier burden with frontcourt rotation pieces missing and Beal sidelined. Leonard averages 28.1 points across 63 overall appearances this season.
The value here lies in his efficiency at the Intuit Dome. When playing on his own floor, Leonard is averaging 30.8 points per game across 33 home contests. This massive situational trend easily clears tonight’s 25.5-point passing line. Even against a defense that forces turnovers, Leonard’s methodical isolation game and 89.4% home free-throw percentage make him highly resistant to pressure.
Getting plus money on Dort to hit just two three-pointers is a slam dunk in this matchup. The Clippers have a well-documented vulnerability on the perimeter, allowing opponents to sink 13.3 triples per contest. With Gilgeous-Alexander aggressively driving the paint, Dort has been the primary beneficiary of wide-open kick-out opportunities.
Dort has proven to be a reliable floor spacer all season, averaging 1.9 made threes across 66 appearances. He’s averaging 2.0 made threes per contest over his last 10 games, shooting a lethal 45.7% from deep during that stretch. Because the defense must collapse to contain elite driving ability, banking on Dort to knock down at least two outside shots is a strong wager.
