The Golden State Warriors (15-13) and Los Angeles Clippers (17-13) face off in the NBA tonight. Tipoff is set for 10 p.m. ET at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The game will broadcast live on NBA TV.

The Clippers are 4.5-point favorites over the Warriors on the spread (Clippers -4.5), with the over/under set at 212.5 total points. Los Angeles is a -180 favorite to win outright, while Golden State is +150 to pull off the upset.

Let’s get into my Warriors vs. Clippers predictions and NBA picks for Friday, December 27.

Warriors vs. Clippers Picks, Prediction

Spread

Without Steph Curry, I’m passing on what would otherwise be a play on the Warriors for me.

Moneyline

I’m staying away from this market too, given the Warriors will be without Curry, and I’m not dying to play a side here regardless.

Over/Under

Wanted to go under, but at 216.5, I’m gonna pass. The case for going under is you have two top-10 defenses and no Curry. But in today’s NBA, 216.5 is very low, and the Warriors have popped off for 127 without Curry in Houston — a better defense, earlier this season.

My Pick: Andrew Wiggins Over 15.5 Points (-125)

Warriors vs. Clippers Preview

I want to take Jonathan Kuminga’s points tonight against the Clippers, but as of 10 a.m. ET this morning, the books still haven’t listed prop lines for him.

In five games without Curry, Kuminga has scored 17, 16, 23, 19 and 33 points. Kuminga has also scored 19 or more in seven of his last 12, and two of the seven were sans Curry.

I will take his over as long as it’s not a ridiculous number (i.e. like 19.5), but follow me on the Action App for a proper update later today.

Otherwise, Andrew Wiggins over 15.5 points on DraftKings will do.

Wiggins has had 15, 16 and 23 without Curry, despite shooting better than 33 percent in just one of those games.

Wiggins has scored 16+ points in four of five outings, and should have enough opportunity to keep that trend rolling tonight. But I don’t love it at anything higher than that.

Best Bets: Jonathan Kuminga Over 15.5 Points (-135), Andrew Wiggins Over 15.5 points (-125)
