The Spurs are fighting to hold on to the 10th spot in the Western Conference, but it becoming increasingly difficult to hold on to their position. In their last meeting, the team lost to Minnesota (110:112), despite a brilliant performance by Victor Wembanyama, who scored 34 points.
Gregg Popovich team often gives up points in important games, but returning to their home arena gives hope. San Antonio has a tough game ahead against the Clippers, but the hosts are motivated to turn things around. The support of the stands and the need to win could play into the Spurs' hands.

Probable line-up: Sohan - Barnes, Wembanyama - Vassell, Paul.
LA Clippers
USACurrent form
The "Sailors" are confidently moving up the standings, securing fifth place in the Western Conference. The team has won three games in a row, beating Memphis (114:110), Golden State (102:92) and New Orleans (113:116). These results allowed the Clippers to get closer to fourth place, which is occupied by Dallas.
James Harden and his partners demonstrate a well-coordinated game, especially in attack, which brings success to the team. However, the upcoming away game will be a serious test for the Clippers, given the motivation of the opponent.

1.70Tip and bets
The Clippers are in good shape, and three wins in a row confirm this. However, the away status of the match and fatigue after a series of intense games may affect the team performance.
San Antonio is not in the best position, but playing at home and the need to hold on to the tenth place motivates Gregg Popovich team. In our opinion, the hosts will be able to show a decent level and impose a fight, which may lead to their victory.
Our prediction is a San Antonio victory with a handicap of (-2.5) points for 1.74
