Basketball betting odds have the San Antonio Spurs heavily favored against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. The Clippers have had no success recently against the Spurs and that doesn’t figure to change on Friday. Let’s look at this NBA betting matchup between the Clippers and Spurs.
Basketball scheduling information tells us that the Clippers are playing the fifth game of a six-game road trip and the first of a back-to-back as they are at Houston tomorrow. The Clippers have lost their last 11 games straight up against the Spurs and they are 4-7 against the basketball odds in those contests. The Clippers have lost their last 10 games at San Antonio and they are 4-5-1 against the basketball odds in those games. The teams have met three times this season and the Spurs have won and covered the basketball number in each game. The only game they played in San Antonio was a 106-84 Spurs rout as San Antonio easily covered the 13 point NBA betting number.
The Clippers have been losers at home and on the road this season versus the basketball betting number. Los Angeles has been poor on offense and on defense this season ranking near the bottom of the league as basketball stats indicate. Basketball betting stats tell us that rookie Eric Gordon has been one of the few bright spots for the Clippers in a bad season.
The Spurs are sometimes overvalued at home and they have a losing record versus the basketball betting pointspread. The Spurs play great defense, ranking 2nd in the NBA as basketball stats have it, but their offense is not as great. As basketball betting stats indicate, they can score when it counts with Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Laying big points though can be a problem in NBA betting for the Spurs though.
The under is 5-4-1 in the last 10 meetings between the two teams. At San Antonio though, the over has been the way to go in basketball betting as it is 4-0-1 in the last five games.
