Los Angeles Clippers (33-31) vs. Golden State Warriors (32-30)
The 2022-23 NBA season goes on Thursday, March 2, with the Los Angeles Clippers facing off against the Golden State Warriors in the Pacific Division showdown at Chase Center in San Francisco, California.
LA and Golden State continue a four-game regular-season series after splitting their first two encounters in 2022-23. While the Clippers should come in at full strength, the Warriors are without Stephen Curry (leg), Andrew Wiggins (personal), Gary Payton II (hip), and Andre Iguodala (hip).
The Los Angeles Clippers (33-31; 31-33 ATS) are coming off Tuesday’s 108-101 home loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After a couple of heartbreaking defeats against the Sacramento Kings 176-175 in double overtime and the Denver Nuggets 134-124 in overtime, the Clippers laid an egg as 6.5-point favorites over the T-Wolves.
LA committed a whopping 25 turnovers this past Tuesday. The Clippers shot just 42.2% from the field and were outscored in the paint 60-38. Paul George notched 25 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals, while Kawhi Leonard had 23 points, five boards, and five dimes.
“We just got to get guys used to playing with one another, but we just can’t have the careless turnovers,” LA coach Tyronn Lue said. “Those are the ones that kill you, and we had it under control for a while but now we gotta get it back.”
