The Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder might appear to be just two Western Conference teams, but the Paul George trade back in 2019 has them attached. Not only did the Thunder land a plethora of picks from the Clippers, but they landed the likely 2025 NBA MVP in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

On Sunday night, the two squads are set to meet in Los Angeles. With the Thunder already locking up the top seed in the conference, the Clippers can jump to the sixth seed with a win. While beating the Thunder will be a tall task, they'll have some odds in their favor following the Thunder's recent injury report.
