Los Angeles Clippers Guard Austin Rivers (25) talks with Head Coach Doc Rivers during an NBA game between the Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Clippers on April 1, 2018 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, CA.

Clippers’ Playoff Hopes are Hanging By a Thread

The L.A. Clippers are running out of time to reach the Western Conference playoffs and aren’t doing themselves any favors right now. The Clips, who blew a 16-point lead in a 111-104 setback to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, go up against a suddenly hot San Antonio Spurs club on Tuesday. UNDERs have been plentiful for the Spurs lately, as 10 of San Antonio’s past 14 games have gone UNDER.

Sportsbook opened the Clips as 1.5-point home underdogs with a total of 209.5.

SHARK BITES
  • The Spurs are 6-2 SU and ATS in their last eight games with one day off between games.
  • The Clippers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games with one day off between games.
  • The Spurs are 1-11 SU in their last 12 games on the road against teams with winning records.

L.A. sits two games behind the eighth-place New Orleans Pelicans with the Denver Nuggets in between, and only five games remain on the docket. The Clippers play four of their final five games at home, but the next four are against other squads in the postseason mix – San Antonio, Utah, Denver and New Orleans.

Sportsbooks of eight of their past 10 games, the Spurs are rounding into form at the right time right now, which has helped ease the tension of a strangely topsy-turvy campaign for the ever-steady franchise. San Antonio sits in fourth place in the West after hammering the conference-leading Houston Rockets 100-83 on Sunday. The Spurs won this year’s previous two meetings with the Clippers by an average of 15.5 points.

The Clippers have had a tough time beating good teams lately. In Los Angeles’ last 10, the Clippers are 3-7 SU.
