GSW vs NOP Dream11: Los Angeles Clippers will be looking for a statement win when they host James Harden and Houston Rockets in a matchup between the two superteams of the Western Conference at Staples Centre, on Friday morning. The Clippers improved their regular-season record to 21-8 following a one-sided 120-99 win over Phoneix Suns. It was a perfect response to their 109-106 defeat against the Chicago Bulls. With the win, the Clippers reduced the gap on the Los Angeles Lakers to 3 and a half games.
Houston Rockets, on the other hand, are 5th in the West, but only two points separate them from the Clippers on the table, which can be reduced to one, pf course if Mike D’Antoni’s men win this game. But doing that will be hard considering the Rockets are 8-5 on the road this season, while the Clippers are 14-1 at Staples Center.
Still, this is a game where the stats and form go out of the window, as both the teams are full of superstars, who, on their day, can beat any superteam.
