Spread: Los Angeles Clippers +3

Total: +229

Los Angeles Clippers have a 7-5 record (7-5 against the spread) so far this season and are currently tied with the Thunder in the 6th place of the West. They have won three of their last four matches and in their last game they won at home against the Bucks with a 128-126 score in overtime, beating the odds. They are led in scoring by Tobias Harris with 20.7 ppg, adding a team high 8.9 boards per game. He is followed by Danilo Gallinari with 19.4 ppg and 5.8 boards, while Lou Williams adds 18.6 ppg.

Golden State Warriors have a 11-2 record (8-5 against the spread) so far this season and currently sit in the first place of the West. They have won nine of their last ten matches and in their last game they won at home against the Nets with a 116-100 score, not beating the odds. They are led in scoring by Stephen Curry with 29.5 ppg, adding 5 boards and 6.1 dimes per game but he is out with an injury. He is followed by Kevin Durant with 26.9 ppg, 6.5 dimes and a team high 7.2 boards per game.

In their four meetings last season the Warriors led the Clippers 3-1 wins, winning both road games by an average of 17 points. Clippers have a 5-1 home record this season, while the Warriors are 4-1 on the road. Warriors have the best offense in the league with 121.9 ppg to Clippers’ 116.3 ppg and are also better defensively, allowing 110.8 ppg to Clippers’ 111.7. Warriors lead the league both in field goal percentage (51.88% to 47.28%) and in 3-point percentage (41.9% to 39.61%). They also lead the league in dimes made (30.3 to 22.3), while Clippers are better in boards grabbed (46.7 to 45.5) and both teams commit almost the same number of turnovers (15 to 15.3). Clippers have been very strong at home and while Vegas odds give the banged up Warriors a -3 spread, don’t expect them to beat the odds and pick Clippers in this one.
