Clippers vs. Warriors, 10 p.m. ET

Pick ATS: Warriors +3.5

Betting on the trends here, the Warriors have been one of the NBA's best teams over the past couple weeks while the Clippers have been fading fast. One of the more concerning trends for the Clippers has been their defensive struggles, as they're 22nd defensive rating over the last 10 games. Poole and Klay Thompson have picked up the scoring slack in Curry's absence, and should get plenty of good looks tonight. Take Golden State to cover.

Over/Under: Over 231.5

As mentioned above, the Clippers have been lost defensively, while the Warriors have the 12th best offensive rating in the NBA. When these two teams faced off two weeks ago, they combined for 258 points. While tonight's total might not reach those heights, they should clear this line tonight.
