This is the second meeting between the Clippers and Thunder this season. The first, a bitter memory for the visitors, was the game in which they lost Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace to long-term injuries. OKC struggled more than expected in that game, and that is what keeps alive the hope of a close contest between two teams far apart in the standings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Date:<\/strong> 13 November 2026 (early hours of the 14th in UK time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time<\/strong>: These are the Clippers vs Thunder start times by time zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Venue<\/strong>: Intuit Dome, Inglewood (California).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following injuries to three starters, Mark Daigneault has been tweaking his starting five to bring more control or more size onto the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coming off two heavy defeats to Portland, Oklahoma arrive with their status as favourites slightly dented. And LA are a team with the tools to blunt the strengths this side still has despite the absences. Even so, the Clippers are a long way off the Thunder’s competitive level, and that should become obvious tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Their 2-8 record speaks for itself. This is a team without the resources to impose its own game plan. They lack scoring and have limited defensive profiles beyond Derrick Jones Jr. and Kris Dunn, with Brook Lopez now showing the effects of age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They have the seventh-worst defence and the ninth-worst attack. Being the most competitive of the league’s also-rans is the only prize they are aiming for this season. It is the first instalment of the punishment for the sins committed over Kawhi Leonard’s contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only one capable of stitching together this group of cast-offs from different places. He is not a ball-handler able to sustain the offensive load at the level of the league’s best point guards, but he is enough for the Clippers to play with some purpose. Top scorer (20.4) and assister (6.9).<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnited Kingdom<\/td> 03:30<\/td><\/tr> Dominican Republic, USA (Boston, New York and Miami), Puerto Rico and Venezuela<\/td> 22:30<\/td><\/tr> Mexico (central), USA (Texas and Chicago), El Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua<\/td> 20:30<\/td><\/tr> Mexico (Pacific) and USA (Los Angeles)<\/td> 18:30<\/td><\/tr> Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay<\/td> 23:30<\/td><\/tr> Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Panama<\/td> 21:30<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Clippers vs Thunder starting fives<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
