San Antonio Spurs vs LA Clippers Prediction
It would be nice to know the status of Kawhi, but I’m laying the points with the Clippers. The Clippers have covered eight of their last 10 games, and they need to keep winning to stay out of the play-in tournament. The Spurs aren’t winning, don’t have enough offense most nights due to injuries, and they lost to the Clippers by 12 points at home a couple of months ago. Thick line, but it’s not enough for me to look in the Spurs’ direction. Give me the Clippers in a home blowout as they inch closer toward staying out of the play-in.
