Why Golden State Warriors are a good bet -6?
Golden State carries a 6-game win streak into their battle with the Clippers on Jan. 18. Golden State has shoved away the issues that plagued them earlier in the season. They’re 6-1 in January.
With Golden State now playing Warrior basketball, teams like the Clippers should have trouble keeping it close, much less winning games. Golden State should be on their toes on Friday knowing that they must keep the Clippers from gaining ground on their top Western Conference position.

Why L.A. Clippers are a good bet +6?
Los Angeles has fallen 6 games behind the Warriors. But, that doesn’t mean they have no shot at covering or even beating Golden State on the moneyline on Jan. 18.
The Clippers are a very good 13-10 ATS at home. They also lost by only 2 points the last time they faced the Warriors, 127-129, on Dec. 23. LAC matches up well with Golden State. They’ll have a great shot to win on the moneyline.

Warriors vs Clippers Final NBA Betting Analysis
While Golden State is hot heading into this Pacific Division matchup, the L.A. Clippers most definitely are not. The Clippers have lost 4 in a row both SU and ATS.
While that’s a real concern, L.A. steps it up against teams that should beat them. The Clippers will show more grit on Friday night than they have in their last 4. They figure to really go for it versus the Warriors, a team with a giant bullseye on its back. Taking the points makes the most sense.
NBA Betting Pick: L.A. Clippers +6
