The Clippers were lucky enough to face the lowly Houston Rockets in back-to-back games, winning 95-93 Monday and 109-101 Wednesday. However, the Clippers struggled to keep those game out of reach with F Kawhi Leonard inactive, shooting 9-of-36 and 12-of-33 from beyond the arc in those games, respectively.
The Spurs are coming off an embarrassing 143-100 loss to the Toronto Raptors Wednesday. Toronto shot 53.8% from the floor, but more importantly, only had 11 turnovers compared to San Antonio’s 23.

Clippers at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Spurs 110, Clippers 105
Moneyline
San Antonio is 2-0 after a loss this season and without Kawhi the Clippers’ offense leans heavily on G Paul George, who led the team in turnovers against the Rockets.
The line has moved away from the Spurs but this is a great bounce-back spot for a surprising San Antonio team. Although if the risk is too much you can always take them with the points.
LEAN SPURS (+150).
Against the spread
Good teams win, but great teams cover. Right now the Clippers are doing neither, and they are near the bottom of the ATS standings with a 2-6 record. The Clippers are also 0-6 ATS in their previous 6 games when their opponent scores 100 or more points in its previous game.
The Spurs are 2-0 this season ATS after a loss, and in their last 4 home games they are 4-0 ATS when facing a team with a winning road record (the Clippers are 3-2 away from Crypto.com Arena).
BET SPURS +4.5 (-103).
Over/Under
Both teams trend toward the Under. The Under is 7-1 in the Clippers’ last 8 games and is 6-1 in their last 7 games after a win.
San Antonio has gone Under in 5 straight home games when facing a team with a winning road record.
LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-108).
