OKC Thunder vs. L.A. Clippers NBA Injury Report

The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the L.A. Clippers in a game that can be used as foreshadowing for the NBA Playoffs. The Clippers are fully healthy while the Thunder may miss key pieces.

In this story:

The Oklahoma City Thunder hit the road for a two game West Coast swing which features a tilt tonight in L.A. against the Clippers and a contest on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings.

These are two teams in the NBA Play-in tournament that the OKC Thunder could matchup with in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Thunder have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, which not only grants them a playoff spot and division banner but secures the right to take on the winner of the second round Western Conference Play-in tournament.

The Clippers are the early favorites to land in the No. 8 seed, after a matchup with the Minnesota Timberwoles in the No. 7 vs. No. 8 seed game, the Clippers should be in no danger of losing to the No. 9 vs. No. 10 winner if they do fall to the Timberwolves.

Tonight can serve as foreshadowing or measuring stick of sorts for that potential first round series. Though, the latest NBA Injury Report might take some luster out of this contest.
