This seems like a rather cheap line for Golden State at home considering the home/away splits for these two teams.
The Warriors are 14-7 straight up at home, as opposed to a dismal 4-13 on the road, winning those home games by an average of +5.4 points per game. Golden State is hitting on a solid 48.2 percent of its field goal attempts here in Oakland including 36.1 percent on three-point attempts, and the Warriors should be able to take advantage of a Clipper defense that is generously allowing 100.6 points per game on 47.1 percent shooting on the road.
The Clippers are just 5-13 straight up away from Staples, getting outscored by an average -7.9 points in those road games. Granted they won their last two games on the road at New Orleans and Minnesota, but neither of those clubs has the offensive firepower of this Warrior team. Finally Golden State won and covered the last head-to-head meetings between these clubs here at home, snapping a seven-game losing streak to the Clips.
