Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Clippers (odds, prediction, and betting tips February 14)

After reviving their season, the Warriors host the Los Angeles Clippers at the Chase Center for their fourth and last regular season encounter between both teams. The Warriors will be looking to even out the season head-to-head against the Clippers, who have won the previous two matchups. 

The Clippers look to be struggling lately, especially in two of their last three games. However, their performance over the past weeks overshadows this current run of form and cements them as one of the league’s top contenders. With a commendable 7-3 record in their last ten matchups, they hold the third spot in the Western Conference, trailing the leaders by a mere 1.5 games. Contrastingly, the Warriors approach this game on the back of a five-game winning streak, underscoring their recent dominance. Winning seven of their last eight games, they enter the fray with formidable form. Despite facing two losses in three encounters against the Clippers this season, their lone victory was on home turf. They will be looking to keep their winning streak going here. 

The game starts at 22:00 ET on Wednesday, 14 February 2024. The game time by GMT is 03:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 15. The match venue is Chase Center, San Francisco, California.
