  • The Los Angeles Clippers are 8-point road underdogs when they visit the Warriors Wednesday
  • Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and Paul George (hamstring) are both out for LA
  • Read below for the Clippers vs Warriors preview, with odds and predictions

Come summer, this Los Angeles Clippers (11-7, 5-3 away) vs Golden State Warriors (8-10. 7-1 home) matchup could very well be the Western Conference Finals.

For now, however, LA is just trying to survive without their two superstars, as Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have already been ruled out.  Meanwhile, the Dubs are working to get above .500.

Golden State finally won their first on the road after losing their first eight. It’s part of the reason that, despite holding the second-best home record in the West, the defending champions are 11th in the conference.

As for the Clippers, they’ve battled with an incomplete roster to an 11-7 mark, which has them in the 4-seed.

It all gets underway Wednesday (Nov 22) at 10pm ET from Chase Center, in a game you can see live on ESPN.

Los Angeles Betting Outlook

In just his third game back since missing nearly a month to deal with his surgically repaired knee, Kawhi Leonard sprained his right ankle attempting to block a shot late in LA’s 121-114 win over the Utah Jazz.

The Clips haven’t lost since Kawhi returned, as they’ve reeled off three straight wins, but it’s clear he’s still working his way back to the form that’s made him a 2-time Finals MVP.

He’s yet to play more than 25 minutes in any of his five appearances, and he had just eight points on 4-for-11 shooting with five dimes against the Jazz.

Paul George, the de facto no. 1 option while Leonard was on the shelf, missed his second straight game with a strained right hamstring. He had led the Clippers in scoring the previous nine games.

LA will need to lean on that top-flight defense, which holds teams to 105.8 points per game, the second-best mark in the league.

Offensively, there is enough depth for the Clips to at least be competitive.

Norman Powell had 30 points and four boards vs Utah, the second-straight game he’s led the team in scoring, while Reggie Jackson had 27 points and four dimes. Ivaca Zubac had 14 points and 14 boards.

Golden State Betting Outlook

The benefit of resting their stars Sunday night in New Orleans is that the Warriors will be well rested for this key matchup. The downside, of course, is the 128-83 thumping at the hands of the Pelicans.

Playing the second night of a back-to-back, Golden State rested Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins. This, after finally breaking an eight-game winless start on the road with a win over Houston.

That game featured a vintage Thompson game, and perhaps a sign that his early-season slump is over. He rung up 41 on the Rockets, drilling 10-for-13 from downtown, to go along with four rebounds and three assists in a tidy 36 minutes of work.

After topping 20 points just once in his first dozen games, he’s now posted back-to-back 20+ point outings.

Golden State is still trying to work things out defensively, as they’ve surrendered 118 points per game this season, which is the third-worst mark in the league.

Clippers vs Warriors Prediction

This is the first of four meetings between the Pacific Division rivals.

The Dubs took three out of four from LA a season ago. The Clippers have done particularly well in this head-to-head on the road, going 6-2 against the spread in the last eight at GState.

While the Clippers are also 4-0 ATS in their last four road games, the Warriors are a different beast at Chase Center this season. They put up over 120 points per game, and enjoy a +10.3 point differential.

They hold opponents to 110.3 points per game, and allow a paltry 29.9% mark from three-point range.

Rested and ready, with the Clips down their superstars, this should be a Warriors’ romp.

Pick:

  • Warriors -8 (-110); 1 unit to win 0.91 units
  • NBA Betting Record: 8-7 ATS, 1-0 ML, 2-2 o/u; 0-1 parlays; +0.71 units
