The LA Clippers will be on the road to take on the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, January 15th.
The tip-off is set for 8:30 ET from AT&T Center.
San Antonio started off as a 2 point favorite and that number is now up to 2.5. The total has gone from 217.5 to 218.
LA Clippers
The Clippers have looked good at times and totally lost at other times. Given the amount of injuries they have had, it is actually pretty impressive they have the record they do.
This squad has won two out of their last three games. It is going to be hard for them to get their third win out of four when they take on this Spurs team.
Yes, they have looked good at times without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, but they need those two players if they are going to win on a high level. There is a difference between playing well once in a while and sustaining success for a long time.
Unless something changes a whole lot, there is a good chance they will be without their two main guys for the rest of the season. Even if they made the playoffs, I do not think they would get all that far.
Los Angeles got smoked by the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday by a score of 113-89. I get that their opponent was better than them, but they should not have lost by all that many points. They will have to get back on track when they take on the Spurs on Saturday.
The offense was just not good enough for them in their last game. It is hard to win ball games when you score under 90 points and your defense does not play well.
San Antonio Spurs
Simply put, the Spurs have not played that well this year. That really does not surprise me, though.
San Antonio is coming into this ball game with a record of 15-26, which puts them in 13th place in the Western Conference. A lot it is going to need to happen if they wish to gain ground in the standings.
I get that these guys have a few nice players and a very good coach, but that is not enough for them to have a lot of success. As of now, they do not have enough pieces to compete and they are going to have to add some more guys if they wish to be relevant again.
This team last played on Wednesday, where they lost to the Houston Rockets by a score of 128-124. That is the sort of loss that just cannot happen, even though San Antonio is not a great team.
The offense played quite well in their last game, but the defense was just not good enough. You should not be letting a team like Houston score almost 130 points. If they do not make the adjustments on that side of the ball, they will once again get torched.

LA Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Analysis:
The Clippers played one of their worst games of the year when they got smoked in their last game against the Pelicans. Even if they do not win this ball game, I would expect them to be a bit sharper in this one on Saturday.
The Spurs have to be able to take care of the Cavs on Friday before they shift their attention to Los Angeles. I am curious to see how they play on the second night of a back-to-back.
San Antonio should be able to win this game, but it would not surprise me if they played down to their competition. Depending on the day, they can knock off a good team or lose to a bad one.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Spurs ATS
I just feel San Antonio will be too much for a short-handed Clippers team to handle. At this point, it is very hard to have all that much confidence in Los Angeles.
The 2.5 in this spot does not seem like too high of a number to lay with the Spurs. They may not totally wipe them out of the gym, but I feel they will do enough to cover this number.
