Preview:
The 21-9 Clippers travel to San Antonio, laying 5.5 points against the 11-16 Spurs. Given Kawhi’s connection to the franchise, I’d expect a strong effort from LA here, which should lead to a road win and cover.
The Clippers are finally in good shape on the injury report, with all of their main rotation guys ready to play here. This is only the first game of their road trip, so I don’t see fatigue playing a major role either.
I also really like the motivation edge for the Clippers here. They had a relatively poor loss at home to Houston last time out and they’ve only lost consecutively once all year.
They also suffered a defeat in San Antonio earlier this season, a loss I’m sure they’re determined to right. Not to mention the implications of Kawhi’s return, who is undoubtedly happy with how he was treated in 2017-18.
I also think the Spurs are an atrocious matchup for the Clippers, especially on the wing. They’ve just got no-one to go up against Kawhi and PG, who should really be able to dictate the game here.
The guard duo of Beverley and Shamet has also looked defensively of late, which bodes well against San Antonio’s deep backcourt. Laying just 5.5 points here, I’d expect a professional road performance from this veteran squad.
Odds:
Tip: Los Angeles Clippers at $1.38
