Surprise of The Season
The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season. The Clippers are 8-5 on the year and how have won six straight home games. Los Angeles has also won four out of their last 5 games overall.
Tobias Harris leads five Clippers’ in double digit scoring at 20.4 points per game. Meanwhile, Lou Williams is having another sixth man of the year season with his 19.1 points per game average. The Clippers rank 5th in the league in scoring but are only 20th in scoring defense. The Clippers are looking for their third straight win against San Antonio.
Who Wins?
The Spurs lead the all-time series 126-40 but the Clippers have had their way lately. Los Angeles has won 7 out of their last 12 head to head games and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 against the Spurs at Staples Center. San Antonio is 1-4 SU in their last 5 games played and 2-15 SU in their last 17 road games while Los Angeles is 4-1 SU in their last 5 games and 5-0 SU in their last five game against the Spurs at Staples Center.
San Antonio is also missing the services of Pau Gasol and Dejounte Murray while Rudy Gay and Derrick White have just returned from injury. They will be facing a Clippers team that is deep in rotation and which boasts of Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams coming off the bench. I like how the Spurs have moved on from Kawhi Leonard, but they are physically challenged in this game to say the least. They are weary from a three game road trip played in four days and will be facing a red hot and well rested Clippers team in Los Angeles.
