The Clippers and Warriors will meet for the second time this season as Golden State hopes Stephen Curry will play.
Los Angeles is 7-7 on the season and 1-3 in the last four games. While the Clippers won last night to snap a three-game losing streak, they are in a bad rest spot. The Clippers are on the second night of a back-to-back, the third game in four days, and the fifth contest in seven days. Los Angeles won 112-104 at Golden State earlier in the season.
Golden State is 10-2 on the season and winners of the past three games. The Warriors’ Stephen Curry is questionable to play, which will impact the betting line on this contest (Golden State -5). Golden State has a major rest advantage with two games (Friday, and Tuesday) over the past week compared to the Clippers playing its fifth in a similar span.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Warriors to cover the -5 versus Los Angeles:
“Getting +5 points as a home underdog for the Clippers is enticing with Stephen Curry banged up and questionable for this game.
Curry exploded for 36 and 37 points in two games last week but had 13 versus Memphis on 4-of-9 shooting over 26 minutes. If Curry isn’t 100 percent, the offense will struggle for Golden State and look much more stagnant.
The Clippers are looking to get over 7-7, have a nice home crowd advantage in the fourth quarter with the new “wall” addition to the arena, and won its last game, snapping a three-game losing streak.
If Curry is out, I like the Clippers a little more, but if he’s in, I would take Golden State -5. The Clippers are playing the second night of a back-to-back, the third game in four days and the fifth game in seven days, while Golden State last played on Friday and Tuesday before that.
The Warriors have a major rest factor and that goes a long way in the NBA.”
