It’s a battle of experienced rosters with championship ambitions as the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco on Thursday night. Both teams are fighting for playoff positioning, and this game could have serious implications down the line. The Clippers have suffered three consecutive losses, while the Warriors are riding a three-game winning streak. As they gear up for their third meeting of the season, both teams find themselves in a virtual tie for fifth place in the Western Conference. The first two games were split between the California rivals, with each team winning on their home court. With less than one percentage point separating them in the standings, this game promises to be an intense showdown.
Looking into the injury report, the Warriors are banged up. They will be without Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton and many more, though Jordan Poole is probable for tonight’s game. As for the Clippers, they are going in with a healthy lineup.
The Warriors play really good on homecourt holding a record of 25-7, however they against the Clippers who are also good on the road as they are 18- 6. Considering the injuries, I could understand why the Clippers are the favorite for this matchup.
That said, we are going against the public and taking the Los Angeles Clippers to cover the spread at -3.5 for my free pick of the day.
