This is clearly a look ahead spot for the Warriors on the road against the Lakers who are 35 games out of first place with the Portland Blazers up next. The Warriors are only 2 games back of the 5th seed trailing the Portland Blazers. Here is the big question and why this is only a 1* confidence rankings. Do the Blazers want the Clippers or do they want Houston? That's what is on the line if they are going to leap frog the Blazers. Either way I expect the spread to be sizeable and the Lakers already won at home as +5 under dog against the Warriors earlier this seaosn. The Lakers will be on 2 days rest while the Warriors will be traveling on 0 days rest where they are 5-8 ATS on the year. I expect the Warriors to cruise throughout this game and save it for Portland.
