The Clippers and Warriors will meet for the second time this season, as Golden State hopes that 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 place to rest. 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. Stephen Curry of the Warriors is doubtful to play, which will affect the betting line in this contest (Golden State -5). Golden State has a significant rest advantage with two games (Friday and Tuesday) over the past week compared to the Clippers playing their fifth in a similar span.

NBC Sports Betting Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Warriors to cover the -5 against Los Angeles:
“Getting +5 points as a home underdog for the Clippers is attractive with Stephen Curry beat and questionable for this game.
Curry exploded for 36 and 37 points in two games last week but had 13 against Memphis on 4-of-9 shooting in 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 go 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’d 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 the Friday and Tuesday before that.
The Warriors have a major rest factor and that goes a long way in the NBA.”
