Warriors @ Clippers

Who will WIN this matchup?

Golden State Warriors (19-18)

@ Los Angeles Clippers (24-14)

 

Current odds:

Golden State Warriors: (+235)

Los Angeles Clippers: (-275)

 

• The spread for the game is Los Angeles by 7 points.

• The Clippers rebounded from a 115-105 loss in the second game of the set to win seven in a row and move to the top of the Western Conference standings in late January. However, six losses in their last nine games — including a season-high three in a row heading into the All-Star break — have pushed them down to fourth in the West as they embark on the final 34 games of the season.

• When last seen, the Clippers not only were losing 119-117 at Washington, but they also feared the worst when Paul George had to sit out the game because of dizziness. But one day later, George reported he was fine — in fact, he went on to score 17 points in the All-Star Game — and admitted that he’d learned something about his body.

• The Warriors also will take the court on a season-worst, three-game skid, coming up empty on a trip to Los Angeles to face the Lakers before falling at Portland and Phoenix. Warriors coach Steve Kerr chose to sit out Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Kelly Oubre in last Thursday’s loss at Phoenix, opting to give them an extra day of rest heading into a rugged start to the second half.

• Curry was the biggest difference-maker in the two earlier games against the Clippers. He struggled through a 1-for-6 3-point effort and totaled just 13 points in Golden State’s loss, before exploding for nine 3-pointers in 14 tries and 38 points in the Warriors’ win. The meeting will be the last of the season for the clubs in a series that has been dominated by the road team in recent years. The Warriors have prevailed in nine of their last 13 visits to the Staples Center when the Clippers have been the opponent.
