Key Storylines
The Clippers enter this game at 2-1, fresh off a 114-107 win over the Portland Trail Blazers where they shot 55% from the field. They held Portland under 40% shooting and three starters scored in double-figures in that game. Their defensive metrics remain strong, as they allow just 112.7 points per game. On offense, they average 117 points and are ranked 16th in scoring. Their slow pace and elevated turnover rate are issues that could cause problems against the Warriors.
The Warriors are also 2-1. They have home-court advantage but face questions going into this game. They are playing on less rest compared to their opponent and have struggled on defense even with full rest. Their offense has been spectacular, though, as they are averaging 126.5 points per game and will try to light up the scoreboard once again tonight.

Final Thoughts
The Clippers should be able to take advantage of the fact that the Warriors are on the second night of a back-to-back here. I’ll take the Clippers to win this game on the road against a Warriors team that is at a rest disadvantage. Expect a big night from Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac especially and for LA to improve to 3-1 early in the season.
