Warriors vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers have won six straight games against the Warriors, and they’re that dark horse in the West that’s not getting a lot of attention. Getting points with the Clippers is hard to turn down. However, the Warriors have been great since the addition of Butler, and they’re an experienced team that still has the ability to get up for big games. Massive game for both sides in terms of seeding.
At home and at full strength, I have to lean toward the Warriors given how they’ve looked over the last two months. The Clippers have seen 21 of their 32 losses come on the road. I’ll lay the reasonable line with the Warriors.
