On Thursday, March 25th the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs will meet for the second time this season. In the initial meeting on January 5th, the Spurs won 116-113.
The Spurs hold the all-time record between the clubs with 130 wins in 175 meetings. Last season, the teams played four times with the Clippers taking three of the four contests.
Los Angeles Clippers
The big question for the day will be whether the Clippers make any trade deadline moves. Although they arrive boasting a mini two-game win streak there are still issues that need tweaking on this club.
Namely, a traditional point guard who can help lead this team. It’s a point the narrator has touched on several times previously.
To wit, while Kawhi Leonard is an otherworldly talent and Paul George is still widely considered one of the top two-way players neither is a vocal leader. Nor are either capable of running the offense for entire games.
The presence of a traditional point guard similar to Kyle Lowry is what this team is missing. Although Lowry would be a perfect fit given his familiarity with Leonard and Serge Ibaka Clippers don’t have the assets or picks that would put them in the conversation.
Regardless, this team is one of the deepest and should be in the mix at season end especially if they can play with consistency.
This match is the second of a back-to-back set both in San Antonio versus the Spurs.
Patrick Beverley (knee) and Serge Ibaka (back) will miss both games.
San Antonio Spurs
In terms of the Spurs and the trade deadline, this is almost unchartered waters as the Spurs have made four deadline deals in over two decades.
It’s simply not a typical maneuver for RC Bufford and Gregg Popovich. San Antonio is seeking a trade partner for LaMarcus Aldridge but if they can’t get it done Thursday they’ll buy out his contract so he can move onto another team.
DeMar DeRozan is in the final year of his contract as are Patty Mills, Rudy Gay, and Trey Lyles so each of the vets could be traded as the Spurs commit to moving forward with the youth brigade.

Prior to this dual Clippers set the Spurs lost two games in a row (Bucks, Hornets) but had been hot prior with an 11-6 record through the prior 17 matches.
Keita Bates-Diop (hamstring), Rudy Gay (foot), and Lonnie Walker (wrist) are all listed on the injury report as out on Wednesday and presumably will be reevaluated prior to Thursday’s match.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Clippers are 6-4 in the clubs last 10 meetings.

Free Los Angeles Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
The Spurs are 2-5 in the second games of back-to-back sets while the Clippers are a perfect 7-0 in those situations. Given that unbeaten streak in second games of back-to-backs, I’d lean to Clippers winning but the teams scoring under.
