Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs Preview<\/h3>\n<p>On the season the Clippers are 11-16 ATS and they have an O\/U record of 13-11-3 and the Spurs are 13-15 ATS and they have an Under record of 14-14.<\/p>\n<p>This season the Spurs are 8-4 at home and the Clippers are 8-5 on the road. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63742&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>In their last games the Clippers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 106-102 and the Spurs lost to the Dallas Mavericks 99-93. <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63727&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs have won 5 of their last6 games facing the Clippers and they beat them in L.A. earlier this season. <\/p>\n<p>Not only have the Spurs lost 4 straight, but they have lost 3 straight at home. <\/p>\n<p>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\u2019 squad that ranks 4th in the league in scoring. <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>Danny Green was also out the last game resting and he will go tonight and has scored 52 points in the last 2 games. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63741&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>If they can do that they have a much better chance to win. <\/p>\n<h3>NBA Betting Trends<\/h3>\n<p>* L.A. is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.<br \/>\n* L.A. is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win.<br \/>\n* San Antonio is -5 ATS in their last 7 home games.<br \/>\n* San Antonio is 18-8 ATS in their last 26 games facing the Clippers.<br \/>\n* The underdog is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 games between these 2 teams. <\/p>\n<h3>4*Cappers NBA Free Pick<\/h3>\n<p>The Spurs will not lose 4 straight at home, as they will win tonight and cover the spread. <\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"NBA Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nba.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NBA Betting Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for Week NBA Picks?
