San Antonio at Los Angeles

This is a big game tonight in Los Angeles as both the Clippers and Spurs have 19 losses this season and the winner will move forward in the competitive Western Conference standings. The Spurs' rough stretch appears to be behind them as they have gotten back to what makes them so good - defense. Prior to the break the Spurs allowed just 89 points per game in their last four, and they will bring that mindset to the West Coast in a game with impact in the standings. The Clippers went prepared to San Antonio just a couple of weeks ago and proceeded to hold the Spurs to just 85 points, and they know they have to be ready on the defensive end tonight. The Clippers have dug in vs. the better teams at 12-5-1 to the UNDER in their last 18 vs. a team over .600. The Spurs shut down scoring teams and are 5-0 to the UNDER in their last five vs. a team scoring 100+ in their previous contest. Take the UNDER in this defensive battle.
