Unlike the Spurs who have had over a week in between games, the Clippers will be playing against San Antonio on the second night of a back-to-back after visiting Golden State on Thursday night. Fatigue could be an issue for Los Angeles, but it could wind up being offset by rust on the Spurs’ side.
The Clippers have enjoyed recent success against San Antonio and enter Friday night’s game with an 11-4 SU and 10-5 ATS record in their last 15 games at home.
The UNDER is 8-3 in Los Angeles’ last 11 home games for totals bettors at the sportsbooks.
Games between the Clippers and the Spurs have carried some extra emotional weight since these two teams battled in an epic seven-game playoff series back in 2015.
