The drama in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament should be at a fever pitch with Steve Ballmerâs arena going against Steph Curry. There may be other names involved when the Golden State Warriors face the Los Angeles Clippers, but all eyes will be on Curry.
My Warriors vs. Clippers predictions and these NBA picks trust Curry on Wednesday, April 15.
Warriors: I wonât do it. I will not bet against Steph Curry when his season is on the line. No one expects Golden State to go on some magical run this postseason, but a win or two to spark the NBAâs interest this week? That is reasonable.
More sincerely, the Clippers backed into the postseason in a worrying way. Twice in the last two weeks, they had clear chances to hold onto a spot in the preferred half of the Play-In Tournament, instead losing twice outright to Portland. Win either of those games, both obvious opportunities, and the Clippersâ postseason hopes look much brighter. Dropping the ball then inspires no faith now.
Do you really want to bet against Steph Curry in a single-elimination moment? Sure, some of you are too young to remember the Davidson run in March of 2008, but everyone saw the 2024 Olympics gold medal game against France, right?
You want to bet against that?
Obviously, sportsbooks have raised this 3-pointer prop because they recognize just how lethal Curry can be, but that now means we get plus-money odds on the Golden State Warriorsâ superstar doing what he does best.
Worry not that he has been back for only four games since his knee injury. Curry shot 5-for-10 from deep in his first game back, part of shooting 15-for-36 (41.7%) from beyond the arc in those four games.
And the Los Angeles Clippers are only middling defending against 3-pointers, ranking No. 16 in both opponent 3-pointer frequency and percentage made since James Harden left the rotation. Recognize, No. 16 in the NBA at this point of the season is actually a massive worry.
This may be the end of the Warriorsâ relevancy in the Curry era, ending not with a âBang!â but with a whimper, but rest assured, Curry will go down firing.
Curryâs ball movement has been a bit slow since his return. Then again, this roster never really allowed Curry to move the ball much, averaging just 4.8 assists before he missed two months with a knee injury. Dropping to 3.5 assists per game in the last four is not terribly glaring in that context.
Draymond Green has been moving the ball, however. He's played in three of Curryâs four games back, averaging 8.3 assists in those three games. There may be a sample size worry in that thought, but if anyone is going to excel with Curryâs return, it is Green.
For one more night, perhaps one last night, two of the three key pieces to this Warriors dynasty can rekindle those memories. No âWallâ will bother Curry or Green.
They have faced Kawhi Leonard countless times before, and with veterans like Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis now their running mates, Golden State as a whole should embrace this road atmosphere.
All four matchups between these two teams went Under their totals this season and by an average of 17.25 points per game. Find more NBA betting trends for Warriors vs. Clippers.
