Command Analysis
San Antonio Spurs
USACurrent form
San Antonio is again at the bottom of the Western Conference and can’t consistently score points. Gregg Popovich’s team continues to build around young talent Victor Wembanyama, but the development process is dragging on. Recent games have exposed the Spurs’ weaknesses, especially on defense.
In the recent match against Indiana (98:136) they looked absolutely helpless, unable to organize either defensive or offensive actions. In the attack, the team relies on Jeremy Sohan and Devin Vasella, but their efforts are clearly not enough to win. The next match against the Clippers will be a real test, because the opponent is motivated after an offensive defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sidi Sissoko and Ricky Minix will miss the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
Spurs have won only one of their last five matches.
Probable line-up: Castle - Barnes, Wembanyama - Vassell, Paul.
LA Clippers
USACurrent form
The Clippers continue to fight for a place in the top 6 of the Western Conference and show decent basketball, despite the misfires. In the last five games, they won three victories, but in the last round they lost to Phoenix (109:111). The game was equal, but in the end, luck was on the Suns' side.
The positive is the return of Kawhi Leonard, who is gradually getting back into shape. Together with James Harden, he can create serious problems for any defense. Tyronn Lue charges understand that losing points in the next meeting can complicate their task in the fight for a place in the top 6, so they are set only for a win against the Spurs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kris Dunn and PJ Tucker will not play in the next game due to health issues.
Interesting facts for betting
In 4 of the last 5 matches the sailors celebrated victory.
Probable lineup: Jones - Leonard, Zubac - Powell, Harden.

1.90Tip and bets
San Antonio remains one of the most unstable teams of the season. Despite the presence of promising players, Gregg Popovich team has not yet demonstrated quality basketball. The Clippers, on the contrary, look confident and have a clear goal - to secure a place in the top 6.
James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac form a powerful attacking trio that the Spurs will have a hard time dealing with. Considering the weakness of San Antonio defense and the motivation of the visitors, we expect a confident victory for the Clippers.
Our prediction is a Clippers win with overtime at 1.62
Bet on total
San Antonio is expected to play with an emphasis on defense, trying to contain the Clippers' quick attacks. However, the visitors have serious attacking power and are able to open up the opponents' defensive lines. Despite this, the hosts' style of play may not allow them to break the total.
Betting Tip - total under 225 points for 1.73
Bet on statistics
The Clippers are in good shape, and the Kawhi Leonard-James Harden combo will create chances throughout the game. The Spurs have serious problems on defense, which makes the Clippers the favorite in terms of scoring. We expect the visitors to confidently beat their individual total.
Prediction - Clippers individual total over 113.5 points for 1.90
