Game Preview
Golden State lost to the Lakers on Christmas Day, 115-113. Steph Curry tied the game with a late three, but the LAL used its chance to secure a win. Steph ended the night with 38 points, being the best player on the court.
Overall, the Warriors are one of the better defending teams in the league, as they allow the rivals to make just 44.9% of their shots from the field. However, with Klay out of the picture, this unit still tries to find balance in the offense, and that’s the reason for their average record.

Meanwhile, the LA Clippers were not the focus on Christmas Day; they had a chance to relax, restore their energy, and prepare well for this event. This gives them a significant edge over their upcoming rivals, who were busy.
Now, besides Harden, one more player needs to be mentioned—Norman Powell. He is currently No.17 in the scoring rankings with 24.1 points and shoots 49.5% from the field.
Warriors vs. Clippers Head to Head
The Clippers were better than Steph and the company twice this year. Their first meeting was in San Francisco, 112-104 for the LAC, and the other in Los Angeles, where Clips posted a 102-99 triumph.
Warriors vs. Clippers Prediction
We bet on Clippers to win here because they had more time to rest and prepare. And that’s very important in the NBA especially now. Also, their recent form is way better than the Warriors’.
