On Saturday, February, 20th at 8:30 P.M. the (48-4) Golden State Warriors will be on the road to take on the (35-18) Los Angeles Clippers. “The Crowd” projects a final score of Warriors 108.4 – Clippers 102.6 with an over/under of 210.9. The Clippers enter the game with a (17-8) home record while the Warriors are (24-4) on the road. Golden State has won 11 straight games while the Clippers recently lost their 18th game of the season.

The Warriors are (10-0) in their last 10 games whereas the Clippers are (7-3). Golden State holds the advantage in most of the major statistical categories. The Clippers are very strong defensively and should slow down Golden State on the second night of a back to back. The Clippers will again be without star forward Blake Griffin who is still recovering from a hand injury. I like the Warriors to win a close one on the road.
