The Golden State Warriors are proving they can get the job done with or without all of their superstars in the fold, and a recent win over the Houston Rockets without Kevin Durant helped cement that case. The Dubs hit the road on Saturday to take on the suddenly hot Los Angeles Clippers.
- The OVER is 6-1 in the Clippers' last seven games.
- The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between the Clippers and Warriors.
- The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between the Clippers and Warriors.
Draymond Green stepped up vs the Rockets by recording his 21st career triple-double in the 124-114 triumph, breaking the record of 20 previously held by Tom Gola. Stephen Curry is on fire in three games since returning from an injury, as the point guard is averaging 33 points on 60.7 shooting while going 20-of-36 from downtown. As of this writing, Durant was questionable to play tonight.
The Clippers, who are coming off a 127-117 loss to Oklahoma City, saw their four-game winning streak snapped in that one. L.A. is trying to climb back to .500 while facing the defending champs twice in five days with a trip to California slated for next week.
Los Angeles simply hasn’t been getting the job done in this series, as the Clippers have lost their last 11 meetings with the Warriors. In the last clash between the clubs, Golden State hammered L.A. 141-113 thanks to 31 points from Curry.
