The San Antonio Spurs will be on the road to take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, December 20th.

Los Angeles started off as a 5 point favorite and that number is now down to 4.5. The total has gone from 218.5 to 217.
San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs have not played all that well this year. I am really not sure if they will get better as the year goes on.
This team has lost two of their last three games. Consistency has been a real issue for this group this year.
A lot of people still seem to think this team is the old Spurs team, but that is just not the case. They have not been all that good in some years now.
When it comes to other teams in the league, this squad just does not have the players to compete with the best ones. They have to sign some better players if they wish to get to that level.
San Antonio lost to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday by a score of 121-114. It has to be hard when you lose to a team like that.
In the loss to Sacramento, the leading scorer was Dejounte Murray, who had 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. On a team that has not been great this year, he has been an impressive player.
LA Clippers
I have not been impressed with the way the Clippers have played this year. They are going to have to get better as the year goes on or their season will be a waste.
Los Angeles currently has a record of 16-14, which puts them in 5th place in the Western Conference. Even with that, I do not consider them one of the top teams in the West.
Injuries have certainly been a killer for these guys during the year. When they can get both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the court together, I feel they can be dangerous.
LA lost to the OKC Thunder on Saturday by a score of 104-103. Even when you are short-handed, that is a loss that you cannot have.
With their two best players on the sideline, other players are going to have to step up. Oftentimes, that has not been the case and it has cost them

San Antonio Spurs vs. LA Clippers NBA Analysis:
I want to see how the Spurs play on Monday in the second night of a back-to-back. It is important that they flush their loss to the Kings from Sunday.
Listen, San Antonio is not a great team, but they need to be able to take care of business when they go against this Clippers team. There really are no excuses.
Just because the Clippers do not have the firepower they would normally have, the Spurs cannot take them for granted. I would not be surprised if they make this a close game.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Spurs ATS
I can see this being a pretty close game. I do not think one team is much better than the other, so I would be surprised if it is a blowout.
In this spot, I do not trust laying the points with the Clippers. The 4.5 is just a bit too heavy. I actually would not be surprised if San Antonio wins the game outright.
