The Golden State Warriors have been in great shape as they’ve won six of their last eight games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after beating the Jazz in a 123-114 win on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have been in great form as they were riding a season-high six-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the red-hot Celtics in a 146-115 loss on Saturday. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 22 points and three steals, John Collins added 22 points on nine of 10 shooting, Derrick Jones Jr scored 19 points on eight of nine shooting off the bench while James Harden tallied 18 points with 12 assists. As a team, the Clippers shot 50 percent from the field and 15 of 38 from the 3-point line as they fought hard to cut an early 16-point deficit to just eight points going into halftime.

Clippers vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors are still shorthanded with Seth Curry still out injured, while the Clippers are missing Derrick Jones Jr, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Bradley Beal. You could make an argument for either side in this matchup, as both teams are entering with plenty of winning momentum, but the Clippers have been a little more impressive to me. I think we will see a response from them after getting embarrassed in their last outing. This should be a close one, but I will lean with the Clippers to eke out a narrow win and cover at home.
