Los Angeles Has Been Playing Well On The Road

The Clippers suffered a surprising 116-93 loss on Sunday as 5.5-point favorites at home against the New York Knicks. The blowout loss came out of nowhere as Los Angeles was 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in its five prior games. Reggie Jackson had an uncharacteristically bad game on offense, going just 4-for-18 from the floor and 0-for-8 from three-point range for a paltry 10 points.

Before that slip-up against New York, Los Angeles was 7-1 SU and ATS over its previous eight games, including a 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS record on the road. The Clippers have scored outright road upsets over the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers while losing to the Phoenix Suns by only seven points as 12.5-point underdogs. Bettors taking Los Angeles as their Clippers vs Warriors prediction will be hoping that this road success continues Tuesday night.

Golden State’s Poor Defense Has Led To Mounting Losses

Scoring 124 points should be enough to win, but it wasn’t on Monday night as the Warriors suffered a 131-124 loss on the road to the Denver Nuggets. The short-handed Warriors were without Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins as all three were given the night off to rest for this game against Los Angeles. Jordan Poole led the Warriors with 32 points and rookie Moses Moody exploded for a season-best 30.

Golden State is now 2-9 SU and ATS over its last 11 games since winning nine straight games back in late January and early February. The Warriors have been getting torched on defense, allowing at least 122 points in each of their last four losses and an average of 126.5 points per game over that stretch. Draymond Green’s scheduled return next week can’t come fast enough for this group.

Clippers vs Warriors Pick & Insights

Clippers: Keys To Cover

Los Angeles cruised to a 119-104 win the last time these teams met on February 14. It’s unlikely that the Clippers will hold Golden State to just 104 points again, but teeing off on this awful defense again should pave the way to a cover as the winning Clippers vs Warriors prediction.

Warriors: Keys To Cover

Perhaps the extra night off for Golden State’s stars will give the Warriors an opportunity to regroup on Tuesday night. The Warriors are always capable of winning and covering the spread in a shootout, but some semblance of decent play on defense would go a long way in making Golden State a more trustworthy Clippers vs Warriors pick.
