“Krest’s Prediction: Warriors Hand Clippers Another Loss”.

The Golden State Warriors head south for a matchup with the 12-22 Los Angeles Clippers.
This record doesn’t tell the whole story. LA has been on an upward trend, with a six-game winning streak before it was snapped by Boston this weekend, and this will be the Clippers’ fifth straight game at home.
Golden State, meanwhile, welcomes back Stephen Curry after a brief ankle problem. He has led the team in scoring in each of his last seven appearances, and the Warriors are 6-1 in those games. My Warriors vs. Clippers predictions and NBA picks expect this formula to continue in tonight’s game.
Warriors vs Clippers Prediction
Warriors vs. Clippers Best Bet: Warriors -1.5 (-105)
The Los Angeles Clippers went on a six-game winning streak immediately after snapping a five-game losing streak. LA was beaten by Boston last time, losing by 31 at home, so another downturn may have begun.
Los Angeles relies on its stars. During the winning streak, Kawhi Leonard averaged 39 points, scoring over 40 in three of them. James Harden added 25.5 points per night during that span.
The Clippers play at the second slowest pace in the league, so it would seem the strategy would be to slow things down and let Leonard and Harden work in the half court. Except they’re just 5-12 in games that have gone under this year. They rank last in the NBA in assists and second to last in offensive rebounds.
This underrated Golden State Warriors defense will also doom this strategy. The Warriors are fourth in the league in steals and eighth in forced turnovers. They also have the sixth-best perimeter defense, which will help control an underrated outside shooting game for the Clippers.
Golden State has struggled on the road this season, going 8-12 away from the Bay Area. However, the Warriors played much better after a 1-6 road record to start the year, which included three straight losses to losing teams. Since then, they have won four straight road games against teams with a losing record, spanning all four games.

Parlay Warriors vs Clippers in the same game
Choosing the top may seem counterintuitive. The Clippers play at a glacial pace and Golden State is in the bottom half of the league in terms of tempo. However, this total is too low to take it into account. It matches the lowest Over/Under total Golden State has faced in 13 games. The Clippers have gone over in four of their last six games.
Yes, Draymond Green was ejected during Sunday’s game against Utah, his 24th career ejection and second in the last eight games. He is on a scoring streak as his point total has increased with his temperament over the last few games. Since returning from a sprained foot in mid-December, he has averaged 9.7 points per game and has scored six or fewer only once in eight games.
