NBA Betting Trends

San Antonio

The Spurs are 7-1-1 against the spread in their last nine conference games and 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games following a loss.

Los Angeles

The Clippers have covered the spread in 11 of their last 15 home games and in four of their last five Saturday contests.

Prediction:

Both of these teams have been playing well as of late, but I feel the Clippers have proven themselves to be more consistent, especially at home. The home team has won five straight between these two, including both meetings this season. The Spurs had to travel overnight and that should impact their legs as the game moves on. I think the Clippers will have too much offense for them to deal with.

NBA Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers -3.5
