This is be a great shootout between two of the Western Conference’s best scoring teams. The Clippers and Warriors have already met once earlier this season, with the Clippers emerging victorious 126-115. Here’s a fun statistic: Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry have combined to make 157 three-pointers this season. The Warriors are another team that gives up over 100 points a game, which the Clippers feast off. This game will almost surely be a match of who can score the most. Blake and DeAndre will have their hands full with David Lee and Andrew Bogut  while the backcourt will be busy fighting off one, two and three screens for Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Expect many slam dunks and 3-pointers as both teams have struggled defensively this season. This game will be a great Christmas present, whether you’re a Clippers/Warriors fan or not.
