1. Golden State+6

(YTD 6-9 Ats)

Steph Curry and Draymond Green are out tonight.

Golden State is 4-1 SU and 4-0-1 Ats without Steph in lineup this season. 4 of those games Draymond Green played in. Golden State has only played 1 game this season without Steph and Draymond Green. (Dec. 5 against Houston and Golden State won outright 99-93) Golden State is 1-0 SU and Ats without Steph and Draymond Green in lineup.

Clippers matchup very well against Golden State. Clippers are 5-0 SU and 4-1 Ats last 5 meetings against a healthy Golden State team with Steph and Draymond in lineup. Tyronn Lue just has Steve Kerr number recently. 

Clippers are also 10-6 SU and Ats at home this season. 10-5-1 Ats off a SU win this season.. 7-2 Ats as a favorite this season and 5-3 Ats off a SU Underdog win.

So,  if you just stopped reading my write up right here, it looks like I'm making a very good case for the clippers... I was a little bit surprised that this line wasn't double digits for this game. Do to the fact that the clippers just have Golden state's number, but something about this line just isn't right. I had to go contrarian...

Golden State is 8-7 SU and 9-6 Ats on the road this season. 7-5-1 Ats off a loss this season...  8-5-1 Ats as an underdog this season.

I understand the Clippers are the more rested team,  have had more time to prepare for this game. I know Golden State is coming off a tough loss against the Lakers on Christmas Day, but I truly believe that the role players will step up today and find a way to keep this game very competitive. 

Final score 106-103.

Let's have a winning evening everybody.
