The Spurs are 2-0 versus the Clippers this season having won by an average of 15.5 points.

Now the Spurs are playing better than ever going 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. San Antonio's last victory came against the Rockets, perhaps the best team in the NBA, by a 100-83 count this past Sunday.

LaMarcus Aldridge is having a tremendous season. But a big takeaway from the Rockets game was how well Rudy Gay played for San Antonio. Gay is a huge plus if healthy.

The Clippers are in must-win mode. The Spurs, though, are playing hard for playoff seeding. The Clippers always have been fragile mentally and they could be through after blowing a 16-point lead at home in their last game, a 111-104 loss to the Pacers this past Sunday. That dropped the Clippers' home ATS mark to 4-10 in their last 14 games at Staples Center.

Much is made of the Spurs not having Kawhi Leonard. However, the Clippers have had a cluster injury problem at guard. They are down Patrick Beverley, Avery Bradley, Milos Teodosic and Jawun Evans. Teodosic is a very underrated player.
