The Los Angeles Clippers host the Golden State Warriors at the Intuit Dome on Wednesday night in a Western Conference Play-In Tournament elimination game. The winner moves on to face the Suns for a chance at the No. 8 seed, while the loser’s season ends tonight.
Los Angeles enters the contest as the 9th seed with a 42–40 record. The Clippers have undergone a massive mid-season transformation, bringing in Darius Garland and Brook Lopez into a rotation led by Kawhi Leonard. While Leonard is currently mending an ankle injury, the Clippers’ top-10 defense and Bennedict Mathurin have kept them strong at home. Playing in their inaugural season at the Intuit Dome, the Clippers aim to use their home-court advantage (22–19) to extend their postseason hopes.
The Warriors arrive as the 10th seed at 37–45, having narrowly secured the final Play-In spot over the New Orleans Pelicans. Golden State’s season has been a rollercoaster of veteran brilliance and unfortunate health setbacks. Despite the loss of Butler and Moses Moody, the Warriors are a dangerous team behind the legendary shooting of Stephen Curry, who leads the team with 26.6 PPG.

Head to Head
The Clippers won the 2025–26 season series 3-1. Historically, the Warriors lead the all-time regular season series 139-105 and the all-time playoff series 7-6.
Prediction
In a win-or-go-home scenario, the Clippers’ depth and interior presence with Brook Lopez and John Collins will be a big challenge for a depleted Warriors squad. While Stephen Curry is capable of a 50-point masterpiece that turns the tables, the absence of Jimmy Butler leaves a massive void in Golden State’s perimeter defense. Expect Darius Garland to control the tempo and for the Clippers to pull away in the second half.
Score Prediction: Clippers 113 – Warriors 104
