DFS picks for Thursday's 12-game slate in the NBA. The All-Tournament Team was selected by a media panel and based on player performance in both Group Play and the Knockout Rounds. Los Angeles and Oklahoma City meet on Thursday with both teams looking to get back in the win column.

The same conversation followed around Kevin Durant’s and Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors. In 2016, Durant joined a group that lost in the finals after a magical 73-9 regular season. The Warriors won the title in each of the next two years. Yet, some teams still chose to compete with them.

Tonight, the Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the LA Clippers, hoping to bounce back from just its second loss of the season. The Thunder fell in the NBA Cup

The Oklahoma City Thunder (24-2, 1st in Western Conference) hosts the Los Angeles Clippers (6-20, 14th in West) Thursday at Paycom Center (8 ET, NBA TV).

At this point, the Oklahoma City Thunder have made actual game breakdowns a bit mundane. Either they blow out teams or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turns into a scoring machine in high-pressure moments. The reigning NBA champions are on track for one of the greatest seasons ever — once again.

Unlike last year, the Oklahoma City Thunder were in the comfort of their own homes as the 2025 NBA Cup finals played out. All eyes in the NBA world were on the New York Knicks as they beat the San Antonio Spurs to win the in-season tournament.
