The highly-anticipated return of DeMarcus Cousins is finally here. There will obviously be an adjustment period to him joining the starting five, but he likely won’t play much Friday, so don’t expect him to have a huge impact. The Clippers are a better team at home, but the Warriors are hot right now, winning eight of their last nine games. Five of those wins even came on the road. Look for them to win and cover here.

The Clippers have lost four straight, the Warriors have won six straight, and now DeMarcus Cousins makes his season debut. My projections don't think it'll be as close as the spread suggests -- the Warriors cover in 65 percent of my computer simulations. Jump on Golden State.
