Summary:
Going into the All-Star break, Golden State is (8-2) in their last ten games while Los Angeles is just (5-5). The Clippers will be without their star point guard Chris Paul who is still recovering from thumb surgery. Without Paul, the Clippers have struggled going (6-7) since he suffered the injury. Golden State has absolutely owned the Clippers winning nine straight against them. The last four head to head games have all been decided by double digits. Going back even further the Clippers have not won in Oracle Arena since 2011. Expect Stephen Curry to have a huge game against the Clippers whom he is averaging 30.3 points against this season. I believe Golden State will take advantage of Paul’s absence and win in blowout fashion at home.
