LA Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King in NBA Predictions
The 1-1 Los Angeles Clippers look for their second win of the 2023/24 NBA regular season when they host the 1-1 San Antonio Spurs. Los Angeles opened their campaign with a 123-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers before a narrow 120-118 loss away to the Jazz on Friday. They now return to the Crypto.com Arena where they went 23-18 last season in front of the home crowd. The Clippers will have high expectations this season as long as they can keep both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George healthy and on the court. So far, both players have been in fine form and are averaging 55.5 points per game between the two of them. Paul George in particular has looked very sharp to start the year and is coming off a 36-point performance against Utah. The Clippers lead the NBA in shooting percentage to start the year at 52.7%.
The Wembanyama show continues in San Antonio as the 19-year-old French rookie is coming off another fine showing. Wembanyama dropped in 21 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and contributed heavily on the defensive side with two steals and three blocked shots. The result was the Spurs grabbing their first victory of the season in a 126-122 overtime win against the Rockets. They’ll face a much stiffer test this time around, however, as they try to contain the fearsome pair of Leonard and George. San Antonio played an extremely high tempo brand of basketball last season which has carried over into this year. The result was a Spurs team that was involved in a number of high-scoring contests. With an offensive weapon such as Wembanyama now at their disposal, we’re expecting that to continue in 2023/24.

Our LA Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The fact that Wembanyama can still get 20+ points on a night where he went 0-6 from three is an excellent sign. He’s a good shooter so we would be expecting a bounce back here. The Spurs are continuing to play a high-tempo style which is a huge advantage to backing an over. The Clippers are getting a consistent 50+ from their two star players who should feast against a defense that gave up the most points in the NBA last year at 123.1 per game. Back another shootout in this one. Our LA Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs prediction is for over 228.5 points to be scored.
