The Warriors are off to a 10-2 start and are first in the West, while the Clippers are 7-7 overall and would be the 10th seed if the postseason were to start today.

The SportsLine consensus lists Golden State as the 4.5-point favorite in the latest Clippers vs. Warriors odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 225.5.

Why the Clippers can cover
The Clippers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 116-105 win over the Jazz on Sunday night. Ivica Zubac had 22 points and 11 rebounds in the victory, and James Harden also logged a double-double with 20 points and 11 assists.

With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, Harden and Norman Powell have been carrying a heavy load offensively. Harden is averaging 20.6 points, 8.5 assists and 7.9 rebounds, while Powell is averaging 23.3 points while shooting 46.9% from the 3-point line. See which team to pick here.

Why the Warriors can cover
Golden State extended its winning streak to three games after capturing a 123-118 win over the Grizzlies in NBA Cup action on Friday. The Warriors’ bench scored 67 points in the victory as Steve Kerr took an opportunity to cut Stephen Curry back to 26 minutes, but the star is still listed as questionable for Monday with left knee inflammation.

Curry previously missed three games with an ankle injury, and Golden State actually won and covered the spread in all three of those games without its captain. The Warriors are now 10-2 against the spread on the season, and they’ve been doing it by winning at the 3-point line on both sides of the floor, ranking second in the NBA in 3-point percentage (39.2%) and first in 3-point percentage allowed (30.5%).

We’ve got another exciting Eastern Conference matchup on Monday’s NBA schedule as the Toronto Raptors will host the Indiana Pacers. Toronto is 2-12 overall and 2-4 at home, while Indiana is 6-7 overall and 2-5 on the road. The teams split their four matchups last season, with the road team winning each game. Toronto is 9-5 against the spread (ATS) in the 2024-25 NBA season, while Indiana is 7-6 versus the line.

Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Indiana is favored by 4 points in the latest Raptors vs. Pacers odds, per SportsLine consensus, and the over/under is 233.5 points.

Why the Raptors can cover
The Raptors fell on Saturday, 126-123, to the Boston Celtics on a last-minute shot from Jayson Tatum, but despite the loss, the Raptors got a top-tier performance from Jakob Poeltl. He dropped a double-double on 35 points and 12 rebounds while shooting 84.2% from the field. RJ Barrett was another key player, posting a triple-double on 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists.

Even though Toronto’s 2-12 record is the worst in the NBA, its 9-5 ATS record is among the best. Only two teams have more covers this season, and the Raptors are elite in one area, and that’s defending the 3-point line. They allow the second-lowest 3-point percentage in the NBA, which could limit Indiana’s potentially high-octane offense. Toronto also gets to face a depleted Pacers squad which has lost centers Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman to season-ending Achilles’ injuries, and has also been without starters Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Andrew Nembhard (knee) for the last 10-plus days.

Why the Pacers can cover
Meanwhile, the Pacers earned a 119-110 win over the Miami Heat on Sunday, with Myles Turner leading the way with 34 points and nine rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Bennedict Mathurin, who dropped a double-double on 21 points and 12 rebounds, while Tyrese Haliburton had his own double-double with 16 points and 13 assists.

The Pacers operate one of the league’s most efficient offenses, ranking fourth in field goal percentage and sixth in effective FG%. Defensively, Turner patrols the paint, ranking seventh with 1.8 blocks per game, while the team, as a whole, does an excellent job on the perimeter, keeping opponents to the sixth-lowest 3-point percentage. The Pacers can also take comfort in the fact that they’ve beaten the Raptors in three straight games in Toronto. See which team to pick here.

The Houston Rockets got the best of the Chicago Bulls when they recorded a 143-107 win on Sunday. That wasn’t the only beatdown that occurred on the floor of the United Center on Sunday evening.

Just before the game got underway, Rockets guard Dillon Brooks and forward Tari Eason attacked Bulls mascot Benny the Bull with pillows. Brooks began the assault on the Bulls’ iconic mascot before Eason ended up joining in on the fun.

Eason even acted like he was stomping on the mascot’s back before leaving the scene of the crime.

The Rockets ended up having an offensive explosion on Sunday as they shot 52.4% from the field. Veteran guard Fred VanVleet scored a game-high 28 points during a very efficient 10-of-16 shooting performance. Seven different Houston players finished the game in double figures.

Brooks had a productive outing with 15 points on 7-of-13 shooting, while Eason struggled a bit offensively with just four points off the bench.

Perhaps the pregame festivities were foreshadowing to what would occur since the Rockets dominated the game from the opening tip. In fact, the Rockets held a 68-52 lead at halftime before pulling away even more over the final 24 minutes of play.
