The Golden State Warriors will be on the road to face the L.A. Clippers in a heavyweight clash at the Intuit Dome tonight. Golden State heads into this game with back-to-back defeats, most recently in heartbreaking fashion against the Lakers 115-113 on Christmas day, all thanks to Austin Reaves’ standout performance.

Moreover, the Warriors have been struggling as of late winning only one game out of their last six matchups. This poor run has highlighted a glaring issue persisting at Golden State, which is their overreliance on Curry, and the lack of co-stars alongside him. One other player the Dubs rely on is veteran star, Draymond Green.

Green could miss this matchup and that will be a huge blow for the Dubs as they look to get back to winning ways. The 34-year-old forward is on day-to-day after suffering from a lower back contusion and will be a game-day decision for Steve Kerr and the Warriors management. On the other hand, the Clippers are coming into the game with an away win against the Grizzlies which would have boosted their morale.

Additionally, both sides are affected by the injury bug as they miss several of their key players for tonight’s clash. As for the Warriors, they could miss a couple of big names for the game, and that could prove to be the key factor as they look to bounce back. Here’s their latest injury report to get all the latest updates as they head to Inglewood.

Golden State Warriors Injury Report

While Draymond Green remains questionable, the Dubs will certainly be without their biggest star Stephen Curry as he won’t be playing a part in tonight’s action due to a knee injury management. This news will surely come as a disappointment to all the Dubs fans, especially after his fantastic 38-point effort in their last matchup.

This season the sharpshooter has been averaging a team-high 22.5 points, and 6.5 assists. Without him, the Warriors seem to struggle, and if neither he nor Green plays, it will be an uphill battle against the Clippers tonight. Lastly, Gary Payton II is also ruled out for the game with a mild left calf strain and will re-evaluated soon.

Golden State Warriors predicted starting five vs the L.A. Clippers

The Warriors will be without their main man and it is highly likely that we will see Brandin Podziemski replace the 4x NBA champion for tonight. Furthermore, Dennis Schroder will retain his place in the starting lineup as he settles into his new home. Also, Andrew Wiggins will have to be at his best and carry the scoring burden if the Warriors want to be on the right end of results.

This is how the Dubs could lineup for the game tonight at the Inuit Dome:

To sum it up, the Clippers are already 2-0 against the Warriors this season and without Curry, the hosts are definitely the favorites for tonight. But, we never know as this Dubs side also has some firepower amongst their roster and if they start to pop we might see them taking the win tonight, nonetheless it will be a great contest.
