Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
San Antonio Spurs
A better insight into the current game of the Spurs can be provided by their streak of 9 losses. Moreover, in 4 of these matches, the opponent had a lead of over 20 points. The explanation for such results is simple. San Antonio is a young team, which, through trial and error, will try to get better with each game.
Los Angeles Clippers
It's too early to talk about Harden's successful adaptation to the new place, but in the last 2 matches, he has been performing well: 24 points + 7 assists against the Rockets and 13+10 against the Spurs. Benching Westbrook helped the Clippers find balance in the attack, and if this continues, they could be one of the contenders for victory this season.
San Antonio Spurs - Los Angeles Clippers prediction
Two days ago, the teams already faced each other, and the winners were the Clippers (124:99). However, Devin Vassell did not participate in that match. He definitely can be called the main attacking option for the Spurs. His possible return could significantly change the balance of power.
Bookmakers set the total points for this match at 230.5, which, honestly, looks adventurous. In the last 5 matches, both opponents only once surpassed such a value, and it was against the best attacking teams in the league (Sacramento and Dallas). Considering that even in the recent game between the Spurs and the Clippers, this value was not surpassed, a bet on Under 230.5 looks interesting.
