Prediction
Clippers 118, Spurs 107
Moneyline (ML)
The Clippers (-455) are massive favorites over the Spurs (+333) Monday night, and it’s not hard to see why. The Clippers have won 20 of 25 games at home this season, while the Spurs are just 8-14 on the road. San Antonio has played better of late, winning five of their last eight games, but the Spurs just don’t have the firepower to keep up with the Clippers. PASS on this chalky moneyline in favor of the point spread.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS (-9.5, -106) are less than double-digit favorites over the Spurs, and that feels misguided. The Clippers have been great against the spread at home, covering in 15 of their 25 contests. While the Spurs have fared somewhat better on the road against the spread than their record shows, it’s just not a fair fight in terms of talent. Take Los Angeles to win by at least 10 points and cover this spread Monday night.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 227.5 points, which feels slightly high considering the talent level of the Clippers’ defense. With all of their weapons back on the floor, they should have no problem holding the Spurs under 110 points. Expect the UNDER 227.5 (-110) to hit in Los Angeles.
