Los Angeles at San Antonio

Premium Pick

This is a tough spot for the Clippers, heading to San Antonio down 3-2. The Clippers are on a 2-6-1 ATS run and 1-5 ATS playing on one day of rest. LA has focused on defense the last month with the Clippers on an 8-4 run UNDER the total and they'll be focused on defense tonight with so much at stake, especially early on. No one wants to get too far behind in this building. But the Clippers have key problems on offense, with a weak bench, bad free throw shooting and Clippers' starting guard Jamal Crawford is 1-of-19 from three-point range over the past four games. San Antonio is outstanding on defense with a great bench, ranked #13 in field goal shooting defense during the regular season and #3 in points allowed. Veteran power forward Tim Duncan continued his excellent play with 21 points, 11 rebounds and three steals in game five for his fourth double-double of the series. San Antonio had little trouble winning at home in game three, 100-73, after a trip to LA and they are in that spot again. The Spurs are on a 15-6 ATS run, including 9-2 ATS at home. Take San Antonio and the first half UNDER.
