The Golden State Warriors have lost three road games in a row as they travel to take on the Los Angeles Clippers. Here are the best Warriors vs. Clippers NBA picks based on the best NBA odds.
It's no secret that the Warriors are terrible on the road. They are just 7-21 this season, and they have lost three consecutive road games dating back to January. Though they are the second-best scoring team in the NBA, a big reason for their road struggles is their defense. They are allowing 123.1 points per road contest this season.
The Clippers continue to hover around .500. They are just 2-4 in their last six home games, and they are averaging a league-worst 107.4 points per game in home contests this season. Will they be able to get right against Golden State's bad road defense?
Here is our best Warriors vs. Clippers NBA pick (odds via DraftKings Sport sbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Warriors vs. Clippers pick
The Warriors very rarely pick up wins on the road, but they also very rarely get blown out. They have lost just two road games by more than 10 points since the calendar turned to 2023. That's not very many for a team that has 14 more losses than wins away from home.
One concern could be that they are playing the second game of a back-to-back, but two of the last three times they have done this on the road, they have actually won the second game.
The Clippers have lost their last two games at home, though those contests were against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Dallas Mavericks. However, they are just 14-13 at the Crypto.com Arena this season.
The Warriors boast the second- best scoring offense in the league, while the Clippers have the fourth-ranked defense. It's unlikely that the Warriors get to their season average tonight, but they should be able to score enough to keep this one close. Especially when considering the Clippers haven't won a game by double-digits since Jan. 26.
Warriors vs. Clippers best odds
| DraftKings | FanDuel | BetMGM | Caesars | PointsBet |
| Warriors +8.5 | Warriors +8 | Warriors +8.5 | Warriors +8.5 | Warriors +8.5 |
| -110 | -108 | -110 | -110 | -110 |
FanDuel is the only major sportsbook to offer a line other than Warriors +8.5 for this game. Interestingly, they're barely offering a better price than the other four sportsbooks to wager on that spread.
This line seems like it's going to move in favor of the Warriors as the day progresses. The reason why we like DraftKings is that they are currently offering the best moneyline option for the Warriors. We don't think they are going to win, but if this line were to move back to +9 anywhere, it would be at DraftKings. However, don't hold your breath. It's best to just place this bet now.

Warriors vs. Clippers odds analysis
The Clippers actually opened as 9.5-poin t favorites, but it did not take long for that spread to drop, eventually landing at 8.5. With 69% of bettors backing the Warriors, it is likely that this spread continues to shrink as game time approaches. If it gets down to a 7-point line, then it's best to just stay away from this game altogether.
This total opened at 227.5, and while it has stayed there at some of the major sportsbooks, others have moved this number to 228.5 with 63% of wagers on the Over. That is surprising considering how good the Clippers are defensively, and how bad the Warriors have been on the road. If this gets up to 230, then you should feel confident betting the Under.
