Clippers vs. Warriors: Golden State Goes for a Fourth Straight Win Without Curry and Green at Chase Center
It is the most-searched game in America tonight - and the home team's two biggest names are sitting it out. Golden State hosts the Clippers at 7:30 p.m. Central with its streak on the line and its stars in street clothes.
The Golden State Warriors host the LA Clippers on Sunday night at Chase Center in San Francisco, with tip-off at 7:30 p.m. Central - the fixture that sits on top of the U.S. trending searches tonight, at 10,000-plus searches on the Google Trends listing read by this desk. Golden State (3-3) comes in on a three-game winning run; the Clippers (1-4) are still looking for their first road win of the season, at 0-3 away from home, VAVEL reported.
The Warriors' streak was built in three different ways: a 134-114 win at Denver, a 119-114 win at Minnesota, and a comeback from 18 points down to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 112-95 at Chase Center on Friday in the NBA Cup opener, VAVEL reported. Oddsmakers installed Golden State as narrow 2.5-point home favorites. The Clippers, on the third game of a demanding stretch, need a win to stop a 1-4 start from sliding further before they head home to face Toronto on Monday.
The catch is who is missing. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are both unavailable for Golden State, rested for injury management after Curry's team-high 31 points and Green's nine assists against the Lakers on Friday, Warriors Wire reported; Gui Santos, playing through knee tendinitis, is listed as probable. The Clippers are shorthanded too, missing Brandon Ingram, Max Strus, Bradley Beal and Yanic Konan Niederhauser, Warriors Wire reported. The final files from this desk only after the buzzer, when a score can be verified.
