Warriors at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 109, Warriors 101
Moneyline
The Clippers (-185) are just a little too expensive at this price SU, costing you nearly 2 times your potential return. As a standalone wager, that’s too much, but as part of a multi-leg or cross-sport parlay, it’s OK to toss LA into the mix.
PASS for a straight wager.
Against the spread
The CLIPPERS -4.5 (-110) are worth a look at home, especially since Curry and Green will sit for the Warriors +4.5 (-110).
Golden State was humming right along earlier in the season, but it has fallen off badly. Since Nov. 23, the Dubs are 3-11 SU and 6-11-1 ATS in the past 18 outings.
Over/Under
UNDER 211.5 (-105) is the lean, but don’t get carried away.
Again, with Curry on the shelf, the Golden State offense will take a hit. And, the Warriors do play a pretty good brand of offense, so the Clippers aren’t likely to roll up a big offensive total here.
