Alternate Spread +7.5 • Golden State Warriors

Reasoned pick: Golden State’s spacing and offensive structure should create matchup advantages that pressure the Clippers’ defense and force contested looks, making the 7.5 alternate spread attractive. This is a stake on consistent offensive execution coupled with timely defensive stops. The -7.5 line corresponds to expecting the Warriors to control tempo and build a multi-possession lead, so covering this spread requires them to convert sustained advantages into a clear margin.
