Spurs vs. Clippers Prediction, Spread, Over/Under
The Spurs currently have a 7.5-game lead for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and are only 3.5 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed. They're one of the hottest teams in the league, winning 17 of their last 19.
What makes them a potentially dangerous team in the playoffs is how balanced this lineup is. San Antonio is one of two teams that ranks in the top five in both adjusted offensive and defensive ratings, according to Dunks & Threes.
C Victor Wembanyama is in the MVP conversation, leading the league with a +15.6 net rating (minimum 50 games played) and ranking fifth with 11.2 rebounds per game.
The Clippers are one of the most remarkable stories this season. They've made history, becoming the first team to go over .500 after being 15 games below it.
L.A.’s defense is its strongest aspect during this run, ranking seventh in points allowed per game (109.6) and eighth in opponent field-goal percentage (46.1%) since December 19.
Even after trading star PG James Harden to the Cavaliers, they are still winning. That’s because they have SF Kawhi Leonard, who ranks sixth in PPG (28.3). Unfortunately, they could be without their All-Star for this matchup after leaving the loss to the Kings with a sprained ankle.
