Los Angeles Clippers vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The Los Angeles Clippers and free points are attractive for obvious reasons, but they're going to be without Kawhi Leonard, so that's the reason the line is what it is. Also, the Golden State Warriors are a veteran team that knows now is the time to start making that push if you want to make the playoffs, and this winning streak is their best stretch of ball they've played all season. With the Clippers down their best player, the Warriors should take advantage of this spot at home. I'll lay the chalk.
