Game Prediction!
The Pick: The Warriors -3.5 -115
The Prop: Night Night Curry 25+ Points
So, the LA Clippers are kind of short-staffed right now, and they've got to play two games in a row, which is not ideal when you're missing important players. On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors are well-rested, and they're doing pretty well with a 10-2 record and a 9-3 against-the-spread performance. Even though the Clippers have had the upper hand in 6 out of the last 8 games against the Warriors, there's some tension between these teams and a bit of a rivalry going on and Harden has got owned by the Warriors his entire career. The Warriors seem to be more reliable and have the advantage of being well-rested. So, I will happily go with Golden State for this one.
