The Clippers (28-31) and Warriors (31-29) meet at Chase Center for the third meeting of the season and this time on Peacock at 10 PM Eastern.
Darius Garland makes his Clippers' debut tonight after being traded to Los Angeles from Cleveland. The Clippers are 2-3 since the All-Star break and have the fourth-easiest remaining strength of schedule, so Garland's return is welcomed as Los Angeles attempts to move up from the play-in to the playoffs. The Clippers finished February with the 23rd-ranked offense and 15th-rated defense.
Golden State remains without Steph Curry and a few other pieces as they welcome the Clippers. Golden State split the season series thus far with Los Angeles, and like the Clippers, enter with a 2-3 record since the All-Star break. In February, Golden State sported the 21st-ranked offense and 20th-rated defense.
The Warriors are in the seventh-place of the play-in tournament at 3.0 games behind the Suns and 2.5 games ahead of the eighth-place Clippers.

"Without Steph Curry and Kristaps Porzingis in the lineup, the Warriors' offense will struggle at times and we may see some players that NBA casuals may not have heard of. I rate the Clippers a +3 and the Warriors a -2 as of right now, giving me a 5-point differential between the two teams, which makes me like the Clippers. The total opened at 219.5 and is down to 215.5, which I agree with. This looks like a defensive battle as the Clippers are without John Collins and welcome a potentially rusty Darius Garland back.
