Al Horford is listed as a game time decision for Golden State. The Warriors have not beaten Los Angeles since November of 2023. The Warriors recently played a back-to-back four days ago and lost on the back end to Portland. If Horford can’t go, they may have a difficult time containing Ivica Zubac who averaged 17.5 points and 15.8 rebounds in four games against the Warriors last season. Los Angeles is a deep team and have the players to control the frontcourt.

FanDuel. I like this spot for Kawhi Leonard. After the entire Clippers offense came out flat in their surprising opening loss against the Jazz, Kawhi has looked like his old self. He’s scored 27 and 30 over his last two games with a 33% and 29% usage rate. With Bradley Beal sidelined, I expect Leonard and James Harden to continue to dominate the ball. And the individual matchup favors Leonard, who has been dominating in the non-restricted area of the pain (47% of his points). The Warriors struggle defensively in that zone, ranking 27th this season and 28th last year.
