The Oklahoma City Thunder will welcome the LA Clippers for an NBA 2025-26 regular season clash on December 18. This is the second time these teams meet this NBA<\/a> season. Their previous encounter saw the reigning champions sweep the Clippers in a blowout fashion in their own backyard. In the upcoming game, the Clippers would want to avenge the defeat, while the red-hot Thunder would aim to extend their dominance on their Pacific-division counterparts. <\/p>

The Thunder enter the gameplay on the back of their latest setback. They suffered a two-point loss to the San Antonio Spurs, marking their only second defeat of the season thus far. The defeat not only crushed Thunder’s NBA Cup championship dreams, but also put an end to their remarkable 16-game winning streak. <\/p>

On the other hand, the visitors, LA Clippers, will enter Thursday’s matchup on the back of a four-game losing streak. In their most-recent game, they slumped to the Memphis Grizzlies in a blowout fashion. <\/p>

Both teams are coming off losses, and are seeking rebounds in the upcoming game. Considering their form and stats, one can expect a lopsided game in the favor of the defending champions. However, before that, let’s get into the injury reports and expected starting lineups for both teams as they meet on Thursday. <\/p>
