Tough Clippers to surge
There is no doubting the game of the day, as the Los Angeles Clippers head to the bay to face the Golden State Warriors.
These two teams are powerhouses of the Western Conference and are set to light up the court.
The Warriors will be looking to snap a 5 game losing streak and furthermore gain momentum after only winning 2 of their last 10 games.
Los Angeles Clippers @ Golden State Warriors
NBA Betting Odds: Clippers $2.80 (+6) / Warriors $1.45 (-6)
The Clippers are punching well above their weight since losing both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to injury.
The emergence of Terance Mann as a point scoring machine has helped the Clippers stay in the playoff hunt.
They will need another big game from him if they are to have a chance against a Warriors team who has a record of 26-7 at home.
The Warriors will welcome back Steph Curry and Klay Thompson from a short lay off.
Steph started the year on fire but has since tapered off in the MVP race.
Look for him to use this big time game to remind the competition of his shooting ability.
Key NBA Betting Statistics
- Warriors are averaging 111 points a game, 11th best in the league.

Free NBA Expert Pick: Clippers +6 @1.90
The Clippers are no push overs.
Whilst they are absolutely ravaged by injuries, they turn up every night ready to play.
The Golden State bench is not very strong and if they can limit Curry and Thompson from the perimeter, Clippers have a huge chance.
Worth a small play at the line.
