The Golden State Warriors will host the LA Clippers next in the NBA seeking to keep their hot streak going. They sit 10th at the moment in the Western Conference while the Clippers are up in third place. Golden State have won their last five matches which is the third time this season they have won as many. They are yet to win six in a row though. Steve Kerr’s men are seeking to split this regular season series at 2-2 and maintain their home record over the Clippers. The Warriors haven’t lost at home to the Clippers since 2021 and have won six straight. Golden State, who have health to thank for their resurgence, blew out the Jazz 129-107 last time out. Only Chris Paul is listed on the injury report for this match for the hosts who are averaging 119.2 points a night.

The Clippers will have to manage here without the services of star guard Kawhi Leonard. He has been ruled out for this match with an adductor problem that could keep him out of the upcoming All-Star game. Ty Lue’s men who have been one of the in-form teams in the league are seeing a slight dip in form. They have lost twice in their last three outings with both defeats coming against Western opposition. After bouncing back from a Pelicans defeat with a win over the Pistons, LA were again back in the losing column. This time it was the highflying Timberwolves who produced a dominant 121-100 victory. The Clippers have won the last two matchups with Golden State (both at home) and will fancy a third win to secure the series 3-1. LA possess the 10th-best-ranked offence and are averaging 118 points a night.
