NBA - 723 Los Angeles Clippers @ 724 Golden State Warriors
Projected Line: LA Clippers by 5 points
Golden State has been playing very well lately, but their recent opponents weren't tough: Boston without Rajon Rondo, Philadelphia, Utah. the Lakers at home, Charlotte, Sacramento and New Orleans. The Warriors have two big holes on defense: they are #29 on pick and roll ball handler defense and #28 on cuts defense. This is worrying for them tonight, as the Clippers have the best PG in the league to pound them on pick and rolls and this is why the Clippers are #3 on pick and roll ball handler. It's also important to note that the Warriors have also an elite pick and roll offense with Stephen Curry and Jarrett Jack, however the Clippers defense is #3 on defending pick and roll ball handler plays.
Then, on the frontcourt battle, it will be interesting David Lee and Blake Griffin going head to head. The Clippers frontcourt is very strong physically and this will be a good battle. The Clippers are coming from a clear loss at Denver and on bounce back mode, I expect them to comfortably beat the Warriors, a team that is a good matchup for them. I'm taking the Clippers in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 723 Los Angeles Clippers ML @ -130 / 1.77 on 5Dimes
