10* LA Clippers -5
Last time the Clippers lost at home before this recent loss to OKC was April 19th again Golden State by 4. They rebounded, and won the next home game by 40. Their previous home loss before that was on April 9th when they lost by 6, they bounced back the next home game and won by 17. They lost on April 3rd by 6, bounced back and won by 23 the very next home game. Clippers lost February 18th to the Spurs by 10, then their next home game was an 8 point win over the Rockets. February 5th, lost to the Heat by 4, next home game beat the Raptors by 13. LA lost to the Suns at home December 30th, and then to start the new year, beat the Bobcats by 27. So the Clippers are 6-0 straightup, and 6-0 against the spread this year at home after a home loss. They won those 6 games by a combined 128 points which is equal to 21.3 points! Clippers have been a great home team all year at 34-7, and they have been even better after revenging a loss. OK City has had its struggles on the road and are just 5-12 ATS last 17 road games, and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning Home record. OKC is 2-6 ATS their last 8 conference semi final games, and 1-4 ATS last 5 Sunday games. Clippers are the opposite, 4-1 ATS last 5 Sunday games, and 16-7 ATS last 23 after a straight up loss. That number gets even better when you filter in their record at home after a home loss. Public is all over OKC, but the Clippers are the team that is in a good spot. Must win situation for them, max effort, and we will see the Clippers cruise to a 12 point victory
