Clippers-Warriors Rivalry Has Been Extremely One-Sided

The Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors are set to collide for the second time in under a week tonight, where the Clips will be looking to rebound from their worst showing of the season. L.A. got manhandled by a score of 144-98 in that game while allowing Golden State to shoot 62 percent from the field. Sportsbooks opened the Dubs as 10-point road favorites with a total of 226.

Shark Bites
  • The Clippers are 12-2 SU in their last 14 games at home after consecutive road games.
  • The Clippers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games at home after failing to cover in their most recent home game.
  • The Warriors are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite of 8.0 or more.

Just how lopsided has this series been? In the last 21 regular season meetings between the Western Conference heavyweights, Golden State is 16-5 SU. The Warriors have already beaten the Clips twice this year.

Having Blake Griffin back in the lineup is huge for a Clippers team that’s been devoid of talent lately. Griffin matched his season best for points (29) against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, and the Oklahoma product is shooting 19-for-28 from the field over the past two games. Superstar point guard Chris Paul will miss his seventh straight contest due to a thumb injury.

The UNDER is paying out when the Warriors and Clippers get together, as three of the last four matchups between the squads have gone below the closing total.
