Free NBA Prediction:
Both teams are motivated to win as they fight for playoff positioning and this game has major implications on the seeding ladder.
LA is in a virtual tie with the Nuggets but have claimed third place (due to tiebreakers) while the Warriors trail them by 2.0 games so a win would shave their margin to one whereas the Dubs are only a half-game up on the Grizzlies and Timberwolves.
LA is a beast at home and brings a monster-size team to the floor whereas the Warriors are small, have a positive record (21-17) on the road, and are rolling on both ends since the Butler trade.

NBA Tweet Of The Day
There is a very real chance that we could see LA Clippers v LA Lakers in the first round of the NBA play-offs. It has never happened before, but a 3-6 or 4-5 finish in the West is a reasonable possibility. Wouldn’t that be something?
