Key Matchups
There are several key matchups to watch in this game. One of the most important will be the matchup between Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and Thunder forward Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Leonard is one of the best players in the NBA, and he will be a tough matchup for Gilgeous-Alexander. However, Gilgeous-Alexander is a rising star, and he has the potential to be a special player. Another key matchup will be the matchup between Clippers center Ivica Zubac and Thunder center Jalen Williams. Zubac is a solid defender, and he will be a tough matchup for Williams.
