Los Angeles Clippers at Golden State Warriors Betting Preview/Prop Picks

After a recent loss to the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Clippers look to bounce back tonight. The injury bug has dealt quite a blow to the Clippers, but they're still No.8 in the conference.

Leading up to their loss to the New York Knicks, the Clippers had won five straight games. Will they restart their winning streak against the No.3 team in the Western Conference?

The Golden State Warriors know all there is to know about injuries. Draymond Green and James Wiseman are still ruled out for tonight's game.

Unfortunately, these aren't the only Warriors players that are on the injury list. These injuries have caused the Warriors to lose four games in a row, most recently to the Nuggets. Can they change the tides in their favor tonight?

Los Angeles Clippers: Reggie Jackson could be the key

A few nights ago, in their game against the Lakers, Jackson scored 36 points. He lit up the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, leading the Clippers to a 132-111 victory.

This proves that the Clippers don't need their superstars to win games. In fact, they had quite the streak going without them. They just need to find a way to create more beneficial scoring opportunities.

The Clippers' offense isn't much to talk about, but their defense is in the top ten. They allow an average of 107.52 points per game but are facing a great shooting team today. Golden State averages 111.17 points per game and has a strong defense to match.

They've sputtered recently, but they still come in as heavy favorites here. The question is, can actually cover it? 

Golden State Warriors: Will injuries prevent another Warriors win?

The injuries piling up on the Warriors roster are starting to get out of control. There are currently three players listed as questionable for tonight's game. With James Wiseman and Draymond Green out, Nikola Jokic was able to put up a triple-double.

Still, even with an incredible game from Jokic, the Warriors only lost by seven points. So, how can they change the momentum?

There's something to consider about their loss to the Denver Nuggets. Neither Klay Thompson nor Stephen Curry played in that game. However, the Warriors were still able to put up 124 points without their two best scorers.

Jordan Poole had 32 points on his own, a remarkable outing. It would seem like the Warriors are rallying together and finding ways to put up a lot of points.

Our pick for the Los Angeles Clippers at Golden State Warriors

These two teams have battled back and forth over their last ten games. Currently, the Clippers have a slight lead at 6-4 over their last ten.

However, we believe that the Warriors will get closer to evening it out by the end of this game. Neither Klay Thompson nor Stephen Curry is currently ruled "out" for this game. We think this means they'll be back in the lineup tonight. 

The Warriors come into this game as seven-point favorites and are familiar with covering large spreads. They also get the added benefit of playing at home, where they're 26-7 this season. Look for the Golden State Warriors to win the game and cover the spread with the total going under.
