LA Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors Picks and Prediction
Pick: Golden State Warriors
Golden State is the better team coming into this matchup, and the Warriors should have enough offensive firepower to take advantage of a struggling Clippers squad. Los Angeles has lost four straight games, and its defense could have problems slowing down Golden State's offensive weapons. The Warriors should be able to establish their offense early and create quality scoring opportunities from beyond the arc. Look for Golden State to control the tempo on its home floor and put pressure on Los Angeles to keep pace. The Clippers should have some success offensively, but Golden State has the advantage and should pick up another home victory.
Total Pick: Over
This matchup has the potential to turn into a high-scoring game because both teams have offensive weapons capable of putting points on the board. Golden State should be able to create open looks from beyond the arc against a Clippers defense that has struggled in recent outings. Los Angeles will need to find offensive success to keep pace, which could lead to a faster tempo and additional scoring opportunities.
