Spurs vs. Clippers Preview
Los Angeles begins the game with a record of 46-32, which places them fifth in the Western Conference. For the rest of the season, the Clippers will need to treat every game like a playoff game.
LA has the fifth-best record in the West, tied with the Warriors, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves. The Clippers hold the tiebreaker as of right now. However, one loss can move the Clippers from fifth to eighth in the West. Ty Lue's team has won four consecutive games and eight of their last ten.
James Harden leads the team with 22.5 points per game and 8.6 assists. Norman Powell has enjoyed the best year of his career with 22.0 points per game. Kawhi Leonard has added 21.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. The Clippers have averaged 112.5 points per game.
The Spurs have posted a record of 32-46 this season. The season was disappointing because the team believed they had enough talent to make a playoff push this year. The major news from this season was superstar Victor Wembanyama's season-ending injury. Wemby led the Spurs with 24.3 points per game and 11.0 rebounds.
The Spurs have been eliminated from the playoffs and have the third-worst record in the West. They have not reached the postseason since 2019.
De’Aaron Fox averaged 19.7 points per game in seventeen games with San Antonio. Fox suffered a season-ending injury in March. Devin Vassell has averaged 16.5 points and 2.9 assists. Rookie Stephon Castle has added 14.5 points and 3.9 assists. The Spurs have averaged 113.9 points per game.
Spurs vs. Clippers Betting Predictions
Los Angeles Clippers -12.5
These two teams are going in entirely different directions right now. As mentioned, every Clippers game is a playoff game for the rest of the season. The shorthanded Spurs will struggle to stay close tonight.
Kawhi Leonard Over 21.5 Points
The veteran is in a strong position to exceed this number tonight against one of the NBA's worst defensive teams. Leonard has cashed this prop in ten of his last twelve games. Our Action Pro Report projects 24.8 points tonight
Devin Vassell Under 18.5 Points
The Clippers' game plan tonight is to slow down the Spurs' top active scorer. Vassell has failed to exceed this prop in three of his last five games. Our Action Pro Report projects 16.2 points tonight.
