Los Angeles Clippers DFS Spin
Paul George (illness) will not suit up for Tuesday’s game in OKC. The Clippers only have three games on their schedule this week, and two are against the Thunder, so PG-13 is a risky guy to deploy in weekly settings. With George on the sidelines, we’d anticipate Norman Powell getting another start and he’d see a massive uptick in usage. Kawhi Leonard will technically have more opportunity, but he’ll likely remain on a tights minutes limit, so it’s still tough to use him in DFS.
Oklahoma City Thunder DFS Spin
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) and Josh Giddey (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Clippers. SGA had gotten off to a thunderous start this season and was quoted saying he believed he could be even better as he was still finding his rhythm, which promptly resulted in OKC creating an injury to hold him on the sidelines the proceeding two games. It’s unclear if SGA or Giddey will be able to get out there for either game against the Clippers this week, but their absence will open up a ton of opportunity for Tre Mann and Aaron Wiggins, and perhaps Aleksej Pokusevski will finally get going.

Clippers vs. Thunder NBA Prediction:
I’m not laying 9.5 points with a road favorite and I don’t trust the winless Thunder, so I’m looking at the total tonight. The under cashed in six of the Clippers’ last seven games overall, is 9-1-1 in their last 11 road games when facing an opponent with a home winning percentage that is less than .400 and is 6-1-1 in their last eight games playing on one day of rest. On the other side, the under is a perfect 4-0 in the Thunder’s last four home games, is 13-4-1 in their last 18 games coming off an ATS loss and is 5-2 in their last seven games after they allowed 100 points or more in their previous contest.
