If Chris Paul and J.J. Redick don’t play Thursday when the Clippers host the defending-champion Golden State Warriors, the Clippers will have little chance of winning.

Prior to practice Wednesday, coach Doc Rivers was asked for an update. It wasn’t great news for Clippers fans. Not the worst, either.

“We’re going to put them both out there (to practice) and if we like what we see … but my guess right now is 50-50,” Rivers said.

Paul and Redick both have missed the past two games – Paul with a groin strain, Redick with back spasms.

The Clippers are 6-4. The Warriors are 12-0, with their smallest margin of victory coming Nov. 4 when they beat the Clippers 112-108 at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Paul scored 24 points in that one and first tweaked his groin there in the final seconds.
