Spurs vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are coming into this game as a 6.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers just had their 7 game winning streak snapped but they have been playing great in their recent games. They lost to a good team in the Bulls and now have a very bad team coming into their building. The Spurs have not been playing well in their recent games and the Clippers are too hot to stop right now. The best bet to place in this game is on the Clippers to cover the spread here.
