Bench Depth Has Been a Difference Maker for Wounded Spurs
The Los Angeles Clippers raised eyebrows across the league due to their red-hot start, but L.A. has fallen back to earth of late on the heels of losses in four of their last five. Blake Griffin and company will look to get back in the win column when they pay a visit to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.
Sportsbook opened the Spurs as 3.5-point home favorites with a total of 201.
The Spurs won four straight out of the gate before dropping four in a row, but they’re back on track right now after emerging triumphant in consecutive games. San Antonio is getting strong contributions from its bench right now, which is imperative due to the absences of Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker.
Despite overcoming a 25-point deficit, the Clippers still fell 104-101 to the Miami Heat on Sunday. Los Angeles outscored the Heat 35-15 in the fourth quarter on Sunday and will look to take that momentum into the Lone Star State.
L.A. took three of the four meetings with the Spurs last season, including a 98-87 win at AT&T Center on April 8. The Clips have done a good job covering on the road against good teams lately, as they’ve gone 8-2 ATS in their last 10 away from home vs squads with winning records.
