Clippers' turnovers meet Warriors without Curry and Green

The LA Clippers (1-4), who turn the ball over more than any NBA team, visit the Golden State Warriors (3-3) on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET, with the Warriors missing Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

Los Angeles gives the ball away on 19.2% of its possessions, last in the league. Golden State forces turnovers at the fourth-highest rate, so loose passes in the Clippers' half-court sets become Warriors possessions.

The Warriors also grab 33.9% of their own misses, best in the league, while the Clippers rank 21st in defensive rebounding.

Golden State's defense allows 114.2 points per 100 possessions, 22nd. The Clippers have done little with such room, scoring 103.5 per 100, third-worst in the league.

Darius Garland runs that offense. He averages 22 points and 6.2 assists but also 5.6 turnovers. Isaiah Jackson adds 2.4 offensive rebounds a game.

For the Warriors, Yaxel Lendeborg averages 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 of them offensive, and Brandin Podziemski leads the team with 1.5 steals a game.

Curry, who scores 29.2 points a game, is out, as is Green, the Warriors' assist leader. Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody and Kristaps Porzingis are also out. Gui Santos is probable.

The Clippers are thin too. Brandon Ingram, Bradley Beal, Max Strus, Jordan Miller and Yanic Konan Niederhauser are all out, and four of them log more than 20 minutes a night.

Golden State has won three straight, including a 134-114 win at Denver. Los Angeles has lost four in a row, the last 127-101 at Minnesota.

Sportsbook prices give the Warriors a 55% chance to win. Our projection has them at 60%, by about three points.
