In their last games the Clippers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 106-102 and the Spurs lost to the Dallas Mavericks 99-93.

The Spurs are really banged up and they have lost 34 straight, which is their longest losing streak in more than 3 years. Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard are out for this game, but after resting the last one Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili should go tonight against the Clippers.

The Spurs are being careless with the rock as of late, as in their 4-game slide they are averaging 17.5 turnovers per game.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The Spurs have won 5 of their last6 games facing the Clippers and they beat them in L.A. earlier this season.

Not only have the Spurs lost 4 straight, but they have lost 3 straight at home.

L.A. is coming off a win and they are 7-3 in their last 10 games. Blake Griffin leads them in scoring and over his last 3 games he is averaging 29 ppg and 11.3 rpg. He and Chris Paul are the main guys the Spurs have to worry about and their D has been solid on the season ranking 8th in opponents points allowed. They will be facing a Clippers’ squad that ranks 4th in the league in scoring.

Parker and Leonard are 2 of the 3 leading scorers for the Spurs and they really need Duncan and Ginobili to play well tonight to snap their losing streak.

It will be key tonight that the Spurs play solid perimeter D facing Paul, Jamaal Crawford, and J.J. Reddick, who are all averaging over 14 ppg and are solid 3-point gunners.

Danny Green was also out the last game resting and he will go tonight and has scored 52 points in the last 2 games.

The Clippers like to run and gun and the Spurs have to slow the pace of the game down and make it more of a half court affair.

If they can do that they have a much better chance to win.
