Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers have been in decent form, as they’ve won five of their last nine games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after smashing the Pelicans in a 137-117 home win last night. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 23 points and five assists, Jordan Miller added 19 points and eight assists on five of six shooting, while Derrick Jones Jr. chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Clippers shot 54 percent from the field and 17 of 36 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 43 points in the first quarter to take the early lead, but they couldn’t get much separation until the second half, where they started stringing together stops to pull away and win comfortably in front of their home fans.
Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors haven’t been anywhere near their best lately, as they’ve lost seven of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting humbled by the Lakers in a 129-101 home defeat on Saturday. Gui Santos led the team in scoring with 14 points on six of 12 shooting; Moses Moody and Gary Payton II each scored 12 points, while De’Anthony Melton chipped in with 10 points and four assists. As a team, the Warriors shot just 45 percent from the field and 12 of 44 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Lakers from the start and scored just 20 points in the first quarter to fall behind by double digits right away and the deficit only grew as the game wore on as they couldn’t slow down the Lakers until they pulled their starters.

Warriors vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are still missing Darius Garland, Bradley Beal, and John Collins, while the Warriors have ruled out Stephen Curry, Seth Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jimmy Butler III. The Clippers haven’t been at their best, as they were on a three-game skid before they took down the Pelicans last night, while the Warriors have really struggled to stay competitive with so many key players sitting out injured. You couldn’t trust either side with much confidence at the moment, but the Clippers have been in better shape recently and I think they get a much-needed win here as long as they don’t decide to rest Kawhi Leonard for this one. This should be close, but I will lean towards the Clippers to get the narrow win on the road.
