LiontipsClippers vs San Antonio. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Clippers' seven-game winning streak was interrupted a few days ago, Tyronn Lue's men failed to avoid defeat in the match against Chicago. Reggie Jackson completely failed the game. Terrence Mann was not looking great either. Eventually Clippers lost the match by a 90:100 score.
Despite a recent defeat, we can say that Clippers are pretty successful at Staples Center. In six most recent home matches they were defeated only once.
Gregg Popovich is trying to build the new team, but so far he is unsuccessful in it. A number of players, who are now in the general's squad are surplus to requirements. Spurs need reinforcements, so their scouts are looking for the new players capable of improving team's performance.
We should note that so far San Antonio beats weaker teams pretty regularly. But Spurs can't do anything against stronger clubs. For example, in two most recent matches Spurs were defeated by Dallas (109:123) and Lakers (106:114).

Tip and bets
Seems like Clippers will be able to redeem themselves for a recent defeat to Chicago. A match against San Antonio is a perfect opportunity to do it. Popovich's men are looking terrible on away matches. Since the start of the regular season they lost 5 out of 7 matches on the road.
Taking that into account, we are expecting a confident victory from the Clippers.
Our prediction - Clippers to win with a handicap of (-5) points
Spurs are unable to play efficiently against defensive teams, so we don't think that they will score many points in this game. Clippers are conceding only 102 points per game at home. We are not expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 223,5 points
