Warriors at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 119, Clippers 111
Moneyline
If you’re wondering why a bad Clippers team isn’t longer underdogs on the back end of a back-to-back, it’s because Curry is a game-time decision. He’s dealing with left knee bursitis, and they’ll likely decide on his status after warmups.
I do think he’ll sit a game this week, but I think it’ll more likely be at home against Atlanta Wednesday. The Dubs then hit the road for a back-to-back Friday (New Orleans) and Saturday (San Antonio) with another game Monday (home vs. Brooklyn).
So I look for Curry to play here and chill Wednesday. Take STEPHEN CURRY OVER 34.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS+ASSISTS (-115).
Against the spread
The Warriors are 10-2 overall, but they’re impressively 9-3 ATS. The Clippers are just 1-3-1 in their last 5 ATS.
BET WARRIORS -5.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Warriors are 9-3 O/U thus far, and the Clippers are just 5-9 O/U. The Clippers are on the tail end of a back-to-back, so they may not be able to close out defensively as quickly. The Over is 4-2 in the last 6 meetings.
TAKE OVER 225.5 (-110).
