The Spurs are still in the play-in zone of the Western Conference - tenth place with a balance of 16-16. This is a great interim result, considering that last season the Texans were in the cellar of the standings. From the game characteristics, we should note that San Antonio has noticeably improved in terms of ball movement - 28.4 assists per game on average and currently eighth in this indicator.
In the last game, San Antonio put up a decent resistance to Minnesota - last season's West finalist - on the road, but still lost in the end - 110:112. Victor Vembanyama was the most productive for the Spurs, scoring 34 points. Chris Paul had 14 assists and no turnovers.
Clippers
The team has been on a good run and has won five of their previous six games. It is important that during this stretch the Clippers beat, among others, direct competitors for high positions in the Western Conference - Dallas (118:95), Memphis (114:110) and Golden State (102:92). Thus, LAC has already reached the fifth line in the West. The overall balance of wins is 19-13. It should also be noted that the Clippers have the fourth-ranked defense, allowing an average of 107.1 points per game.
Yesterday, again, the Clippers outscored the last team in the Western Conference, New Orleans, 116:113. Norman Powell scored 35 points, James Harden - 27, Ivica Zubac had a double-double - 20 points, 16 rebounds.
Expert Betting Tips
The Clippers will have a back-to-back, but in basketball it does not play such an important role as in hockey. Therefore, we consider the odds on Tyronn Lue's team to be overrated in the upcoming game, which we will take advantage of. We bet on the guests, as well as the individual total less than San Antonio. After all, LAC has the fourth defense of the season.
