Los Angeles News & Notes
Through their first 30 games of 2019-20, the Clippers have been a far better team at home than they have been on the road. The Clippers are 14-2 SU and 11-5 ATS in Los Angeles compared to a pedestrian 7-7 SU and 6-8 ATS record on the road. Los Angeles has been getting better on the road, however, with a 4-1 SU and ATS record in its last five games away from home.
Before going 1-2 SU and ATS over their last three games, the Clippers had been on a tear with a 13-2 SU record in their previous 15 games and a 6-1 ATS record in their previous seven. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are playing well together and each averaging over 25 points per game.
San Antonio News & Notes
With a 6-13 SU and 4-15 ATS record through their first 19 games, San Antonio appeared to clearly be on its way to being a seller at the trade deadline with pieces like DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge to dangle. But with a 5-3 SU and 4-3-1 ATS run over their last eight games (that started with a 107-97 win at home against the Clippers), the Spurs are now only one game out of a playoff spot in what looks to be a wide-open Western Conference this season.
Better play at home has sparked the Spurs’ recent turnaround as the team is 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS in its last five games played in San Antonio.
Betting Pick: San Antonio +5.5
The Spurs have been playing well at home and have been keeping games close in general, as indicated by their stretch of four straight overtime games earlier this month. San Antonio might not win outright against the Clippers this time around, but another cover should be within reach.
- LA is 8-2 SU in its last 10 games against a Western Conference opponent.
- San Antonio is 6-13 SU in its last 19 games.
- The UNDER is 4-1 in San Antonio's last 5 games vs. LA.
