Los Angeles at San Antonio

Premium Pick

The San Antonio Spurs knew they had to get a game in LA, and they got it done in game two. They head now home for game three with the series tied at one game apiece. The Spurs now have stolen home court advantage, and need to just hold serve at home. That is something the Spurs have been good at down the stretch as they finished the regular season on a nine game home winning streak. Since the start of February, they have lost just one time at home, and that was in overtime. The Spurs are also 13-3 ATS during the period, and have held opponents to a stingy 96.6 points per game, and they are 9-0 ATS during the stretch as a home favorite of fewer than -11 points. The Clippers' offense has been slowed against good teams, and the result has been an 8-16-1 mark to the UNDER in their 27 games this season vs. an opponent that is better than .650. Game two saw just 94 points scored by each team in regulation. The Clippers' starting unit has logged a lot of minutes in this series, with four players averaging 40.5 minutes per game or more, while no player on the San Antonio roster has played more than 37 minutes per game. That is going to be a factor for LA on the road tonight, as they won't have the crowd to energize them late in the game as they did in the first two games. Play San Antonio, the first-half and full game UNDER.
