The Golden State Warriors are 9-0 straight up and 6-3 against the spread in their last nine games against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors will look to keep that trend of success alive with a win at home over Los Angeles on Thursday.

Golden State is a 12-point home favorite in Oakland at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last seven games at home, the Warriors are 7-0 SU and 6-0-1 ATS.
The chemistry and firepower the Warriors have has been overwhelming opposing teams all season long, and bookmakers can’t seem to set the spreads high enough on this team of late.
Golden State is 14-3 SU and 12-4-1 over its last 17 games despite having to cover an average spread of 11.5 points per game over that stretch. All three of Golden State’s losses over the team’s last 17 games have come as double-digit road favorites.
The Warriors have completely dominated the Clippers in the last four games between these two teams. Golden State is 4-0 ATS in those four games, per the OddsShark NBA Database, with an average margin of victory of 23 points per game.
Betting Line / Total: Golden State -12 / 230.5 Points
Trend: The Warriors are 6-3 ATS in their last nine games against the Clippers.
Trend: The OVER is 11-3 in the Clippers’ last 14 games as double-digit underdogs.
Los Angeles appeared to be in a free fall towards the All-Star break with a 2-7 SU and 3-6 ATS record in their first nine games without Chris Paul. But the Clippers snapped out of their slump with a 4-0 SU and ATS run over their last four games, picking up road upsets over the Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz along the way.
The schedule lightens up for the Clippers in the month of March, but not before the team must face Golden State, San Antonio, and Houston over its next four games.
Thursday night’s total is set at 230.5 points. The OVER is 11-3 in Los Angeles’s last 14 games as a double-digit underdog.
The Warriors have just about every team’s number, but they seem to have a particular penchant for beating up on the Clippers. Los Angeles will be more dangerous when Paul returns, but it may be too tall of an order to have success this postseason if the team winds up falling too far in the standings.
