Golden State comes into the game on the back of a tough loss to the Sacramento Kings, who played some of their best basketball this season in that game and will now be looking to build off of that performance.

Steve Kerr's bench rotation will be missing two elite ball-handler with impactful energy in Chris Paul and Gary Payton II due to injury. As such, Brandin Podziemski and Cory Joseph will likely be tasked with plugging those gaps.

LA Clippers vs Golden State Warriors: Prediction

The Golden State Warriors are slight favorites heading into their game against the LA Clippers. Steve Kerr's team are -5 on the spread and -205 on the money line. However, the Warriors will need to figure out how to break down the Clippers' sturdy wing defense and manipulate Ivica Zubac, who is a reliable rim protector in the middle of the floor.

Still, James Harden's recent performance level, coupled with strong starts from Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, will ensure that the Clippers will be a tough fight for the Warriors, especially given the team's recent struggles when closing out games.
