What to Know
This Friday, the San Antonio Spurs are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 121.63 points per game. They will square off against the Los Angeles Clippers at 8 p.m. ET Friday at AT&T Center. Los Angeles will be strutting in after a victory while the Spurs will be stumbling in from a loss.
There’s no need to mince words: San Antonio lost to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 143-100. San Antonio was down 104-70 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. The top scorer for San Antonio was small forward Keita Bates-Diop (17 points).
Meanwhile, Los Angeles was able to grind out a solid win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, winning 109-101. Power forward Marcus Morris and small forward Paul George were among the main playmakers for the Clippers as the former posted a double-double on 21 points and ten boards and the latter had 28 points and five assists.
The Spurs are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Wednesday might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
San Antonio beat Los Angeles 101-94 when the two teams previously met in January. Will San Antonio repeat their success, or does Los Angeles have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
