By contrast, the Warriors have won two of their three preseason fixtures, with Steph Curry top scoring with 17 points in a 104-95 victory over the Washington Wizards last weekend.

Behind the Celtics and the Warriors, the Los Angeles Clippers are the team being tipped to challenge for the NBA title and they’ll finalise their 2022/23 season plans with a clash against the Denver Nuggets.
The Clippers begin their campaign against the Los Angeles Lakers, after what has been a mixed preseason so far, with victory against the Trail Blazers followed up with defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
John Wall netted 20 points for the Clippers in last week’s preseason defeat to the Timberwolves, with the 32-year-old likely crucial to the Los Angeles outfit’s hopes this season.
