Two Western Conference heavyweights are set to take on each other as the LA Clippers visit the Golden State Warriors in hopes of rubbing off their sub-par form. On the other hand, the Dubs seemed to have restored their old shine back to the team!
Venue: Chase Center
Time: 10:00 PM ET (January 6, 2021)
This game will be between two of the very best teams in the West and in the Pacific Division. The Clippers are ahead of Golden State in the rankings, but the Bay Team has been looking dangerously good in recent games.
As the 2020-21 NBA season goes deeper, several crazy trade ideas continue to surface around the league. These include the hypothetical blockbuster deal between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics involving Draymond Green and Marcus Smart. In the proposed scenario by Greg Patuto of
NBA Analysis Network, Green and Alen Smailagic would be heading to Boston, while Smart, Romeo Langford, and Aaron Nesmith would be sent to Golden State.
As of now, it remains unknown if there s an ongoing negotiation between the Warriors and the Celtics involving Green and Smart, but if the suggested deal became a reality, Patuto believes that it would help both teams improve their rosters.
After splitting a pair of games in Los Angeles, the Portland Trail Blazers (2-2) continue their first road trip of the 2020-21 season by heading north to San Francisco for two games versus the Golden State Warriors, the first being a New Year’s Day tilt Friday night at the Chase Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
