They are entering this game on a 9 game winning streak with wins coming against the Charlotte Hornets, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Sacramento Kings, the Phoenix Suns, the Indiana Pacers, the Miami Heat, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Chicago Bulls, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Golden State Warriors still to be played on Wednesday night.

The Spurs have an ATS record of 42-32-2 this season and their O/U record is 33-43.

The Clippers are entering this game with a 39-37 record overall this season and they are 21-16 in their home games this season where they will be in this game.

The current betting odds have the Clippers listed as a 4.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers have looked good in their games this season with their 39-37 record overall which has them right in the middle of the West. They have looked a lot better on their home court too with their 21-16 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 57-18 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 27-11 road record this year. The Spurs have been one of the best teams in the NBA all season and they have also been rolling in their games lately. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games and have a ton of momentum on their side with 9 wins in a row now. That streak isn't going to last forever though and this isn't a great situation for them to be in. They are playing this game on a back-to-back with a road game against the Warriors the night before so the Clippers are going to have rest on their side here. The Clippers haven't looked that great lately as they are 5-5 in their last 10 games and they are off a loss to the Trail Blazers too, but that was a big loss for them in the play-in tournament seeding, so they will be looking to bounce back in this one as they are still trying to avoid playing an extra game. The Clippers have put a lot of work in over the last 2 months to get themselves in this position too, so they are going to bring their best effort to bounce back at home where they have looked so much better this season. They have the talent to keep this a tighter game at home with the Spurs on a back-to-back, not fully focused on this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Clippers to cover the spread in this game.

"A sense of urgency and sharpness. They responded well to that timeout and responded out of halftime, but we didn't sustain it as much as I wish and we are capable of." - Mitch Johnson after his team’s win against the Bulls in their game on Monday. 

"We're just not very good at it. We haven't done it all season long. When two of your centers go down, it puts you into a position where you have to play that way. We're not good at it. So, I take responsibility. It happened two games ago. We haven't has a chance to really work on how we want to play." - Ty Lue after his team’s loss against the Trail Blazers in their game on Tuesday.
