Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers Prediction
Close to full strength, the Warriors in the underdog role is usually attractive. However, the Warriors are on the road, where they’ve lost 12 times. The Warriors have also lost 8 of their last 10 meetings against the Clippers. The Clippers are playing their best ball of the season, and they’re at home, where 8 of their 12 wins have come. The defensive effort from the Clippers has picked up during this winning streak. I’m going to lay the bucket with the Clippers at home.
