Clippers vs. Warriors Prediction, Spread, Over/Under
Despite the two clubs' mediocre records, this game remains important. Both are firmly in play-in territory, with the Clippers ninth and the Warriors eighth in the Western Conference standings.
The Clippers have stumbled following the trade of PG James Harden. They're 5-5 over their last 10 games and were coming off three straight losses by a combined 11 points before beating the New Orleans Pelicans comfortably on Sunday. Star F Kawhi Leonard isn't to blame, though, as he's averaging a career-high 27.9 points per game.
The Warriors are just trying to stay alive without their face of the franchise, PG Stephen Curry, who will miss at least the next five games, in addition to the 10 he has already missed. The Dubs have gone 4-6 so far without Curry and just can’t seem to muster any offensive punch.
