Spurs vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are still missing Darius Garland, John Collins, and Bradley Beal, while the Spurs have ruled out Harrison Barnes, Mason Plumlee, and David Jones Garcia. These teams have yet to clash this season, but while the Clippers have been playing well, it’s the Spurs who enter as arguably the hottest team in the league right now, especially after smashing the Pistons. The Spurs are clear favorites given their recent form, but it’s tough laying this many points, as the Spurs are playing their second game of a back-to-back set. I don’t think the Clippers will pull off the upset, but I expect them to be in the contest in the final minutes.
