The post-Klay Thompson era has gotten off to a roaring start for the Golden State Warriors (10-2, 6-1, ATS) while the post-Paul George era has done anything but for the LA Clippers (7-7, 4-4 home, 8-6 ATS). Golden State and LAC will lock horns tonight at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood at 7:10 pm PT/10:10 pm ET and, with the status of Steph Curry (knee) in question, the Warriors remain 4.5-point road favorites.

  Sascha Paruk’s 2024-25 NBA betting record: 19-17 (+3.18 units). All wagers one unit unless stated otherwise. 

The spread for this game has been fluctuating all day due to Steph Curry being listed as questionable due to a knee injury. But I’m backing the Warriors regardless. Golden State is not the top-heavy behemoth it once was. Depth has become a huge strength for the Dubs, who have five players averaging in double-figures and nine players averaging at least 8.0 PPG.

Second-leading scorer Buddy Hield (17.7 PPG) isn’t even in the starting lineup.

Golden State has already played three games without Curry this season, and they’re a perfect 3-0, both straight-up and against the spread. That includes a pair of lopsided wins over New Orleans (124-106, 104-89) and an OT win at Houston (127-121).

Golden State currently has the third-best Net Rating in the league and remains the only team with a top-five D-Rating (107.9, fourth) and O-Rating (118.4, fourth).

The Clippers, on the other hand, are pretty heavily reliant on their top-three scorers: Norman Powell (23.3 PPG), James Harden (20.6 PPG), and Ivica Zubac (15.9 PPG), and all three logged at least 33 minutes in last night’s 116-105 win over Utah. While they don’t have to travel on the tail-end of the back-to-back, Harden and Powell are both on the wrong side of 30, and fatigue will play a factor.

I’m also betting the under on Zubac’s rebounds (11.5) at plus-money. The 27-year-old Croatian is averaging 12.1 RPG this season, fifth-most in the league, but he hasn’t gone over 11.5 rebounds in three straight games. The Warriors, meanwhile, aren’t the biggest team but they are nonetheless top-ten in rebound percentage (51.0%)

With Curry’s status in question, the player props are more limited than usual, especially on the Golden State side. Curry, himself, is listed with a game-high point total of 24.5, followed by LAC’s James Harden (22.5) and Norman Powell (19.5).

Warriors vs Clippers Odds

There was still a decent rage in the Warriors vs Clippers odds as of 3 pm ET. The spread was still as low as 4.5 at BetMGM and as high as six at FanDuel.

The best moneyline price on the Warriors is currently -198 at DraftKings while the best odds available on LAC are +180 at FanDuel.

There is shockingly little variety with respect to the game total. Indeed, there’s none: all books have the O/U at 225.5 with -110 odds both ways.

The NBA public betting splits for Monday are all over Golden State. The Warriors are receiving 80% of moneyline handle and 86% of ATS handle roughly seven hours before tip-off.
