The Golden State Warriors are hitting the road to take on the LA Clippers. The Warriors have been in stellar form this season, boasting a 10-2 record. One of their two losses, however, came against the Clippers in late October. Since that defeat, the Dubs have won eight of their last nine games, with the sole loss coming against an undefeated Cavaliers team.

On the other hand, the Clippers kicked off their four-game home stand with a win over a struggling Jazz team. Prior to that, they endured a tough stretch, losing to Oklahoma City before suffering back-to-back defeats against Houston.

Tonight’s matchup will also spotlight two of the NBA’s greatest 3-point shooters, Stephen Curry and James Harden. Harden recently surpassed Ray Allen during the game against Utah, climbing to second place on the all-time 3-pointers list.

While LA continues to miss their star Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac and Norman Powell have been a great help for Harden. On the other hand, Curry and Co. continue to impress with their performances and are one of the teams to beat this season after being tipped as early contenders for the title.

The Warriors do face a few injury scares ahead of the clash and that could have a big impact on how the game plays out. Furthermore, The Clippers are hoping to get the Klaw back on the court as soon as possible before the season slips away in an unforgiving Western Conference. Let’s see the injury reports to see which players won’t be available for tonight.

The Warriors will aim to bounce back after their earlier loss to the Clippers this season. Despite the Clippers’ four-game winning streak against the Dubs, replicating that success tonight will be challenging given the Warriors’ current form. Stephen Curry’s fitness will play a pivotal role for Golden State, while James Harden and Norman Powell need to deliver strong performances to boost LA’s chances of securing a win.
