OKC Thunder vs LA Clippers Preview and Prediction - Nov. 4 | 2025-26 NBA Season

The OKC Thunder will face the LA Clippers in one of six NBA games scheduled for Tuesday. This will be OKC's eighth game of the 2025-26 season. The Clippers, meanwhile, will play their seventh game.

The reigning champions led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have done well to continue their dominance. They have opened the 2025-26 season with seven straight wins. The team is comfortably sitting atop the Western Conference with the reigning MVP averaging 33.6 points.

The Clippers, who haven't won a playoff series in the last three seasons, made several changes to their roster this summer. But the team is yet to find its footing, splitting its first six games to start the new season.

Kawhi Leonard continues to lead the way, recording 23.8 points and 6.0 rebounds this season. James Harden has also been key, averaging 21.8 points and 9.2 assists.
