DeAndre Jordan vs Zaza Pachulia

This is really the only clear matchup advantage on both ends of the floor for the Clippers. Jordan will find himself in some space on defence. With the spacing generated by the shooting ability of Pachulia’s team-mates, Jordan will be responsible for a huge amount of help defence. The Warriors use their spacing advantage to create a multitude of drive and kick and cutting options. Jordan will need to perform to his peak as a rim protector.
