Warriors at Clippers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 118, Clippers 110

Money line

The Warriors are 2-0 against the Clippers this season. They beat the Clippers 115-113 at home Oct. 21 and 105-90 in Los Angeles Nov. 28.

They are 16-10 on the road this season but have won three of their last four away from home. Golden State is 9-1 against teams in their division.

The Clippers continue to weather injuries to key players as now they will be without the newly-acquired Powell. They have only two wins in their last six games.

The Warriors aren’t at full strength without Green in the lineup, but the Clippers are much more banged up.

Take the WARRIORS (-270).

Against the spread

The Warriors have not covered the spread in their last five games and are 12-12-2 ATS on the road.

The Clippers have only covered the spread once in their last six games. They are only 12-17 ATS at home this season.

Take the Warriors -6.5 (107).

Over/Under

November’s meeting reached 195 points as it fell well short of the 216 posted total.

The Clippers won’t be able to hang in this game if they let the pace get too fast but they have scored 109 points or more in eight of their last 10 games.

The Warriors have scored 110 points or more in nine of their last 10 games, surpassing 120 five times.

Take OVER 220.5 (-112).

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Golden State Warriors (17-2) travel to Staples Center Sunday to take on the Los Angeles Clippers (11-8). Tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Warriors at Clippers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Warriors are the second-hottest team in the NBA and the only team without at least three losses.

They’ve been on fire behind two-time MVP Stephen Curry. Draymond Green has also re-established himself as one of the best players in the Association.

It has really been the team’s bench that has elevated their level of play. Golden State is 14-4-1 against the spread. They took down the Clippers 115-113 at the Chase Center earlier this season.

Paul George had 29 while Curry dropped 45. The Clippers have been solid this season behind their improved defense, led by Eric Bledsoe and George. They’re 9-10 against the spread.

Warriors at Clippers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 106, Clippers 104

Money line

PASS on the money line play here.

The Warriors have been far too good to bet against, even though I do like the Clippers’ defense coupled with the weaknesses due to injuries for the Warriors.

Nonetheless, I’m not taking either side of this one.

Against the spread

BET the CLIPPERS +2.5 (-105) as they played the Warriors close last time and only lost by two despite Curry dropping 45. They should have a better plan to lock him up, although that’s relatively impossible.

The Clippers have also been a strong side at home at 9-4. They have the league’s second-best defensive rating, and the Warriors and Clippers are the only teams to have home defensive ratings under 100.

Los Angeles also holds teams to the worst free-throw attempt rate. They just defend without fouling, and as long as they can make others than Curry beat them, I like their odds in this one.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 214.5 (-108) as these are the two best defenses in the NBA.

They rank No. 1 and No. 2 in defensive rating. The Warriors shoot the third-most threes per game while the Clippers hold their opponents to the sixth-worst shooting percentage from deep.

This should be a defensive battle, or at least a game that has several top-tier defenders. With that in mind, I only “lean” here because of the star power and play-making on both sides.

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Golden State Warriors (19-18) and Los Angeles Clippers (24-14) tip-off the second half of their seasons Thursday at the Staples Center. The game is scheduled for a 10 p.m. ET start. Below, we analyze the Warriors-Clippers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Golden State dropped three straight (0-3 ATS) before the All-Star break, all against winning Western Conference teams, however.

The Clippers also wrapped up their first half of the season with a 3-game losing skid and lost four of their previous five games (1-4 ATS).

These teams split a back-to-back earlier this season from Jan. 6-8 with the Warriors winning the last meeting.

The Warriors’ victory snapped a 4-game losing streak to the Clippers, which started when LA acquired Kawhi Leonard and Paul George last offseason.

Warriors at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 116, Warriors 105

Money line (ML)

PASS because even though I expect Los Angeles to win comfortably, I’ll almost never bet an NBA regular-season money line favorite at -160 or greater.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Clippers play much better against good defenses (the Warriors are 6th in defensive rating) than Golden State does against top-10 offenses (LA is 3rd in offensive rating).

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, the Warriors are 4-10 overall with the 28th-ranked net efficiency and is 26th in spread differential (minus-4.3 points) vs. top-10 offenses this season.

Whereas LA is 10-5 overall and 9th in net efficiency vs. top-10 defenses and the Warriors are 4-8 ATS as a road underdog with a minus-5.4-point ATS margin.

BET CLIPPERS -7.5 (-105) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Wait for the final injury report before betting this game to see the statuses of Oubre and Draymond because Golden State matches up really well defensively against LA if those guys are in the lineup.

The Clippers take the 6th-highest rate of mid-range shots and the Warriors have the 2nd-best defensive mid-range shooting percentage (according to CleaningTheGlass.com).

Furthermore, LA plays at the 4th-slowest pace in the Association, which is an optimal tempo for the Clippers since Golden State has the 2nd-fastest pace and will need to connect on transition threes to steal or cover this game.

TAKE the UNDER 231.5 (-110) for 1 unit.
