GSW vs LAC Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Los Angeles Clippers host Golden State Warriors in a crunch game-4 of the first round playoff series match at Staples Center, in Downtown Los Angeles, on Friday morning (IST).
Golden State Warriors restored the word order as they destroyed Los Angeles Clippers in game-3, just two days after surrendering a 31-point lead at Oracle Arena.
This was needed, very much a need of the hour. Not entirely because of the fear of losing the first round series to Clippers, but for the reason that they need to be fresh for the impending and the mouthwatering Western Conference semifinal against Houston Rockets.
A 4-0 sweep wad forecasted, but now a 4-1 win would be a welcome return.

The 31-point surrender was a historic collapse. For no team has ever lost a game from that margin in the playoffs. The defeat raised too many questions about Warriors. The highlight was the injury to DeMarcus Cousins and how Steve Kerr would cope in the absence of his big men.
But all the lingering doubts were erased by an utterly dominant display at Staples Center.
Kevin Durant played just like the player who won the last two NBA finals MVP. He dropped a game-high 38 points.
Clippers now have a real fight on their hands to be alive in the series.
Regular Season Record-
Los Angeles Clippers: W-48, L-34
Golden State Warriors: W-57, L-25
Players to watch out for:
Los Angeles Clippers:
Lou Williams – There is no denying that Lou Williams is one of the most underrated players in NBA. But he is somebody who can win games almost single-handedly. This was quite evident in game 2 as he exploded for 36 points and 11 rebounds against Warriors. He leads both all the three charts from the bench this season.
The 32-year-old is averaging a career-high 20.3 points per game and has scored at 25.7 in the post-season.
Montrezl Harrell – Like Lou Williams, he features from the bench, and score quite heavily. The 25-year-old power forward can be a match-winner on his day. He is averaging 22.0 points in the post-season.
Golden State Warriors:
Stephen Curry – A vital cog in Warriors’ wheel. Stephen Curry is an indispensable part of the Warriors’ roster. This is best highlighted by the fact that Curry leads the league in total plus-minus. To simplify it, the Warriors outscored their opponents by a huge 689 points when he was on the court. That’s some presence on the court.
On the scoring side, the two-time MVP is dropping a team-high 27.8 points per game this season, while in the post-season he is dropping almost 30 points per game.
Kevin Durant – Curry may lead the offence for Warriors, but Kevin Durant is considered as a man for the big occasions. He is a two-time reigning NBA finals MVP and has been playing extremely well of late. There are not many players in the NBA who can slow him down when he is in the mood. The former Oklahoma City Thunder star has averaged 26.8 points per game in the regular season.

GSW vs LAC Dream11 Fantasy Team:
INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:
Golden State Warriors returned to their devastating best in the last game. This is the form which they exuded for the entirety of the playoffs last season. Perhaps the loss at Oracle Arena was a wake-up call for them, that nothing can’t be taken for granted in the post-season.
With Warriors up and running, we back them to win this game.
