Summary:
Golden State is the hottest team in the NBA right now going (9-1) in their last ten games. The Clippers, by comparison, are (6-4) in their last ten games including losing four of their last five. Golden State at home obliterated the Clippers last Saturday 144-98. The Clippers had no answer for Stephen Curry who had 43 points and six assists in the blowout win. The Warriors have now won nine of their last ten head to head games with the Clippers. Los Angeles will again be without their star point guard Chris Paul who is recovering from a hand injury. Obviously, the Warriors have been dominant against the Clippers and I expect another big win on Thursday.
