San Antonio Spurs vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Clippers have been one of the hotter teams in the league SU and ATS over the last month or so. There also seem to be overreactions at times when stars are out. With no Kawhi, these lines can get out of hand at times. However, we just saw the Clippers lose to the Kings as double-digit favorites. Kawhi has done a lot of heavy lifting to turn this Clippers season around and without him there’s not a lot of attractiveness. The Spurs are the same team on the road or at home and they’re 37-29-2 ATS on the season. The Spurs beat up on the teams they’re supposed to beat up on. I’ll lay out the points.
