Russell Westbrook o5.5 Rebounds (Thunder-Clippers NBA Same-Game Parlay)

Let’s kick out Thunder-Clippers same-game parlay picks with this bet on Russell Westbrook. The Clippers have ruled out starting center Ivica Zubac for the second time this year. In Zubac’s first absence, Westbrook played 29 minutes and tallied eight rebounds.

Westbrook has put together similarly big games on the glass in recent matchups versus the Thunder. He came down with 13 boards in his last matchup with them. Since the start of the 2021-22 season, Westbrook has played the Thunder seven times, tallying six rebounds or more in five of them while averaging eight.

Russell Westbrook o3.5 Assists (Thunder-Clippers NBA Same-Game Parlay)

We’re doubling down on Russell Westbrook with this part of our Thunder-Clippers same-game parlay. Again, we’re assuming that the injury to Zubac forces L.A. to play Westbrook for extra minutes, but I think that outcome is likely given Westbrook’s hustle and contributions on the glass.

As with rebounding, Westbrook has put together several solid games against the Thunder as a passer lately. He tallied exactly four assists in his only game against them this year. Through the same seven-game sample discussed above, Westbrook tallied less than four assists just once with an average of 6.6.

We’re also banking on the Thunder struggling a bit after playing last night. The Thunder are currently 4-1 against the spread (ATS) without rest this year, which is impressive (but probably unsustainable). They went just 5-7-1 ATS without rest last season. Meanwhile, the Clippers are 17-10 ATS with a rest advantage over the last two years.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander u32.5 Points (Thunder-Clippers NBA Same-Game Parlay)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played incredibly without rest this year. He is averaging exactly 32 points per game over a five-game sample when forced to play on a back-to-back this year. However, I suspect that number is unsustainably high. For one, his shooting splits (57/47/93) are far above his season averages (56/33/89).

More importantly, SGA wasn’t good without rest last year. He averaged 29.4 points per game, below his season average (31.4), and recorded less impressive shooting splits (50/42/93). He also recorded those numbers across a five-game sample.

SGA has also stayed under 32.5 points in four of his last five games against the Clippers, a sample that dates back to the 2022-23 season. He has recorded more than 32.5 points — exactly 33 — just once when playing them, and neither Paul George nor Kawhi Leonard were active for that one.

Los Angeles Clippers Moneyline (Thunder-Clippers NBA Same-Game Parlay)

We’ll wrap this Thunder-Clippers same-game parlay up with a bet on the side. Let’s trust the Los Angeles Clippers to get the job done against the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight because they have the rest advantage. The Clippers are 19-8 straight up when playing with a rest advantage since the start of last year. The Thunder are a solid 17-13 straight up with a rest advantage, but they’re just 9-9 without rest over that sample.

The Thunder may rank second in the Western Conference, but the Clippers are just two games behind them. Oklahoma City ranks fourth in net rating over the last seven games (+9.8), slightly edging out the sixth-ranked Clippers (+8.2). I’d give the Thunder the edge on a neutral site with equal rest, but when they’re at a rest disadvantage and on the road, the Clippers deserve to be a sizeable favorite.
