Warriors vs. Clippers Preview
Klay is gone and it seems the new generation of players will take over the wheel in San Francisco. Of course, Steph Curry will be the leader, yet we don’t expect to see him in the main role as often as before. Though, the new Splash Brother is in town, as Buddy Hield landed in California. He should maintain the three-point pressure on the rivals.
We strongly believe the upcoming season should be when Jonathan Kuminga becomes a league superstar. He averaged 16.1 points last year with 4.8 boards, but now, he should surpass the 20-point mark.
The Clippers are without Paul George, yet they decided to keep James Harden. Russell Westbrook is out as well, yet his contribution wasn’t that significant. However, many believe that Kawhi Leonard should be dispatched to some other team due to his constant injuries. He will be a game-time for this event.

Other than that, the Clippers’ roster and staff are the same, with Tyronn Lue in charge. For many, they are a dark horse, but not among the top four contenders to win the title.
Warriors vs. Clippers Head to Head
Last year these teams met four times as division rivals. The Clippers won three games, GSW one.
Warriors vs. Clippers Prediction
Without George and with Kawhi probably skipping this event, the Warriors are big favorites, and we bet on their win.
- Warriors vs. Clippers pick: Warriors win
