The Western Conference is looking a little one sided as two teams that went a combined 27-3 over the last month of regular season will meet in the first round of playoffs. It is unfortunate that one of these talented teams will go home. Unfortunately for the Spurs they just missed the No. 2 seed in the conference and home court advantage with their loss to the Pelicans 108-103 in their final regular season game which plummeted them to the No.6 seed. San Antonio is 22-19 on the road but will this matter heading into Los Angeles as the Spurs are super-hot playing their best basketball.
In their last 16 games of the season the Spurs went 14-2 against the spread which is incredible for the bankrolls of their backers. They went on an 11 game winning streak which New Orleans finally snapped in their final game. San Antonio star Kawhi Leonard who is thought to be one of the best two way players in the league managed to average 19 points per game, 7 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game in his last 15. Leonard will hopefully carry this successful run into Los Angeles for this series.
The Spurs weren’t the only ones to go on a winning streak at season end, the Clippers went 14-1 in their last 15 games as well. Los Angeles has a well- oiled machine in Paul, Griffin, Redick and Jordan who have all had success at scoring big numbers. The Clippers can definitely score against the Spurs as they have averaged a high of 114 points per game in their last 3 meetings. The Spurs are superior from the free throw line with an average of 78% to the Clippers 71%. That said Los Angeles has had more success behind the arc and this might be a factor in the high scores of previous games against the Spurs.

The Clippers are banged up but are expected to have all hands on deck. That may not be the case for the Spurs who may or may not have Center Tiago Splitter for Game 1. The two teams split the season series but LAC took the last two home and away. The San Antonio may be more suite for a deep run in the playoffs but we’re going to fade them here. The Clippers are arguably the hot team here going 14-1 down the stretch losing only to the Warriors in their last 15. With the point spread not being a factor in this game we feel comfortable backing the home squad.
Take the Los Angeles Clippers -1
