Predictions, Player Props, and Best Odds for Warriors vs Clippers Game on November 18th

• The West-leading Golden State Warriors visit the LA Clippers on Monday night
• LAC is playing the second of back-to-back games while Golden State has been off since Friday
• Below, find the Warriors vs Clippers odds, player props, and predictions for Nov. 18

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.

Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers Predictions

• Warriors -2.5 (-150) at BetMGM
• Zubac under 11.5 rebounds (+106) at FanDuel
  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%)

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.

The highly anticipated matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers on November 18th is sure to be a thrilling game for basketball fans. With both teams boasting talented rosters and strong performances so far this season, this game is shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

When it comes to predictions for this game, it’s important to consider the recent form of both teams. The Warriors have been on a hot streak, winning seven of their last eight games and currently sitting at the top of the Western Conference standings. On the other hand, the Clippers have also been playing well, with a record of 7-4 and currently sitting in the fourth spot in the conference.

In terms of player props, there are several key players to keep an eye on in this game. For the Warriors, Stephen Curry has been on fire this season, averaging over 27 points per game and shooting over 40% from three-point range. Look for Curry to have a big game and potentially hit several threes against the Clippers’ defense.

On the Clippers’ side, Kawhi Leonard is always a threat on both ends of the court. Leonard is averaging over 25 points per game this season and is known for his defensive prowess as well. Expect Leonard to be a key player for the Clippers and potentially make some big plays down the stretch.

When it comes to betting odds for this game, the Warriors are currently favored to win with odds of -150, while the Clippers are underdogs with odds of +130. The over/under for total points scored in the game is set at 220.5.
