The Clippers have been excellent these days, and with seven wins in a row, they even have a chance to take over the 4th seed int he West if the Nuggets lose to the Rockets.
Harden, Bogi, Zubac, and the rest of the crew have one loss in the past 10 games and look fantastic. They won against the Kings this Friday night, 101-100, in a tight finish.

Golden State Warriors lost to the San Antonio Spurs this week, 114-111, with Harrison Barnes’ buzzer-beater three. This was something that pushed them down the standings, and they now have to fight to stay in the playoff zone and avoid the play-in.
Warriors beat the Trail Blazers last night in RIP City, 103-86. Jimmy Butler had 24 points, while Buddy Hield added 16 off the bench. The guests couldn’t hit three-pointers well, making only 6 in 30 downtown attempts.

The Clippers won in all three games this year against the Warriors. Overall they have 6 straight triumphs over GSW.
Clippers vs. Warriors Predictions
LAC will win this one because we believe they have better offensive diversity than the Warriors. Also, they play well on the defensive side, with Zubac and Kawhi looking great. Yes, the Warriors are good at home, but we will risk and bet on the Clippers to defend the spread.
