Los Angeles Clippers vs . Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
LA Clippers Preview
The LA Clippers stats look great defensively, as they’re ranked second in defensive rating in the league.
However, their offensive rating is near the bottom of the league in NBA team stats, as they have struggled to get much of anything going despite boasting one of the best duos in the league in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
Clippers Offense
It is the offensive repertoire of both Leonard and George that allows them to put up great NBA player stats in the points categories, as both have the ability to shoot the three, post their defenders up and drive to the rim.
However, both Leonard and George will be out of action for this one, as both are dealing with their respective injuries.
With both out of action, it’ll be up for other guys to step up and fill in offensively. Norman Powell led the way with 30 points his last time out in the Clippers’ victory over the Utah Jazz, as he shot it on an efficient 10-of-15 mark from the field.
Reggie Jackson also stepped up in the scoring department, as he finished with 27 points and four assists. Ivica Zubac put up 14 points and 14 rebounds.
John Wall is appearing to get at least some of his game back, as he put up 13 points, eight assists, and five rebounds.
All in all, the Clippers have the defensive personnel to guard the Warriors out on the perimeter and make life difficult for guys trying to get open from three.
Golden State Warriors Preview
The Golden State Warriors prediction is predicated on how far Stephen Curry can take them.
Curry has been incredibly hot recently, as he is averaging 35.7 points on over 55 percent shooting to go along with 10.3 assists per game. He also recently popped off for 50 points.
Klay Thompson also appears to be turning a corner, as he put up 41 points his last time out.
Thompson is critical to the Warriors’ attack, as his 3-point shooting off the ball makes it extremely difficult for opposing defenses to guard the 3-point line.
A Ball Movement-heavy Team
The Warriors are a ball movement-heavy team, and the minute Curry crosses the half-court line opposing defenses will look to double him and get the ball out of his hands.
However, Curry has the humility to pass up the ball and run circles around the perimeter and off-ball screens to get himself open, which is just an absolute nightmare to defend.
Draymond Green is still getting it done as a hard-nosed defender and facilitator, as he can still look to push the pace even at his more advanced age.
This should be one of the more exciting NBA matchups on the NBA schedule today, as two divisional foes with championship aspirations will be battling it out.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
When it comes to Clippers vs Warriors odds, it would probably be safe to lean with the Warriors given their urgent need to come away with a win and the fact that the Clippers will be without two of their superstar players.
