The Golden State Warriors will be at Staples Center tonight to face the L.A. Clippers, who are their increasingly bitter rivals.
Unfortunately, it's possible that neither team will be at full strength.
While the Warriors will likely be without reserve guard Shaun Livingston, both Chris Paul and J.J. Redick have been listed as "doubtful for the Clippers.
Shaun Livingston (hip flexor strain) is a no-go for #Warriors tonight vs #Clippers.

Warriors interim head Luke Walton said Shaun Livingston (hip) is doubtful, but Klay Thompson (back) is playing tonight vs. the Clippers.

The Clippers' latest injury report still lists Chris Paul (groin) and J.J. Redick (back) as doubtful, but Warriors are prepped to face both.

The semantics of injury reporting - one outlet says CP, JJ "not likely" to play. Doc said neither were "probable" and said it was "50-50."

Bram, Ivan and I discussed the implications of the Clippers injuries on this game during our podcast the other day — let's just say that I'm not all that confident that the Clippers can win. But honestly, this rivalry has become so entertaining that I wish that both teams were at full strength.
Yet as things stand now, the Warriors have a pretty good chance of earning a win, the 13th straight to begin the season. If you want to celebrate that early-season success, be sure to check out our championship t-shirt available at BreakingT.com.
