NBA Picks: Clippers vs. Spurs Gambling Lines & Preview Game 6

NBA Gambling: LAC vs San Antonio

The San Antonio Spurs (3-2) can close out the series at home tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers (2-3) – will they be up for the task? Visit Cappers Picks daily for our free NBA playoff picks.

Game 5 was tied heading into the 4th quarter and the Spurs outscored the Clippers (29-25) to win. The big story was the bench production that the Spurs got and the limited production the Clips got.

The Spurs bench scored 48 points, while the Clippers bench scored 17 points.

Blake Griffin led all scorers with 30 points in the last game, but it wasn’t enough for the Clips. Most of the starters played well for LAC, except for Matt Barnes who struggled through another poor outing.

Jamal Crawford had a terrible game too, as he went 4 of 15 from the field. If the Clippers want to win and force a game 7 back at home, they’ll need to get more production out of their bench players.

Griffin has to work on pounding the rock down low in the paint more too and score easier buckets. He may have just had 30 points, but he only shot 10 of 25 from the field, which isn’t that good.

DeAndre Jordan had a great game too, as he had 21 points and 14 rebounds. The Spurs showed off their depth in game 5. Tiago Splitter and Danny Green struggled in the game, but the bench didn’t.

Boris Diaw, Patty Mills and Manu Ginobli all scored in double digits. Tim Duncan led the way for the Spurs with a double-double (21 points and 11 rebounds), while Kawhi Leonard had 18 points and 9 rebounds.

The Clips have some hope, as they did win the last game in San Antonio, but it was close and they were also blown out in game 3 at the AT&T Center. The point spread is a little big though.

Chris Paul will step up tonight and provide the Clips with the spark they need to win. He had 19 points and 10 assists last game, but I expect him to take more shots tonight in a do or die situation.

Free NBA Picks: Los Angeles Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs

Los Angeles Clippers +5.5 (-110)

Two of the three Spurs wins have been by four points, so I don’t think the Spurs will be able to cover the point spread even if they win. The Clippers won’t hold anything back and the starters will get big minutes.

The one concern I have about the Clips is endurance. How much do the starters have left in the tank after playing such big minutes this series? That’s where the Spurs depth comes into play again.

However, I expect this series to go seven games and I’ll be betting on the Clips +5.5 tonight.
