Spurs at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 122, Spurs 106
Moneyline
The Clippers (-900) will cost you 9 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to bet favorites so heavily, especially in a standalone bet.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The CLIPPERS -12.5 (-105) is the lean, but go lightly. There is some concern with Morris, who is nursing an injury to his ribs. He is averaging 12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, and he is 4th on the team in scoring.
The Spurs have cashed in just 6 of the past 19 road games, and they’re 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings when playing on no rest.
Over/Under
UNDER 233.5 (-105) is the play, especially based on the series trends.
The Under is 6-1 in the past 7 in this series, while hitting in 5 of the past 6 meetings in Los Angeles.
While the trends are mostly Over for the Spurs lately, the Under is a whopping 23-5 in the past 28 home games for the Clippers, while cashing at a 5-1 clip in the past 6 against losing teams.
