Through 3 Quarters

The point spread is against the San Antonio Spurs, but thus far the points are on their side. They have unwrapped a big 94-65 lead against the Los Angeles Clippers after three quarters.

San Antonio has been relying on point guard Dejounte Murray, who has posted a triple-double on 17 points, 11 dimes, and ten rebounds, and center Jakob Poeltl, who has dropped a double-double on 15 points and 11 boards in addition to four assists. Small forward Paul George has led the way so far for Los Angeles, as he has 18 points and six assists along with five rebounds.

If the game were over at this point, it would be the Clippers' worst margin of defeat yet this year.

What to Know

The San Antonio Spurs have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Los Angeles Clippers and are hoping to record their first win since January 5th. San Antonio might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against Los Angeles at 10:30 p.m. ET Dec. 20 at Staples Center.

The Spurs came up short against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, falling 121-114. One thing holding San Antonio back was the mediocre play of center Jakob Poeltl, who did not have his best game: he finished with only four points on 2-for-10 shooting in his 33 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles was just a bucket shy of a victory this past Saturday and fell 104-103 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The losing side was boosted by shooting guard Luke Kennard, who shot 7-for-13 from downtown and finished with 27 points and seven rebounds. Kennard hadn't helped his team much against the Utah Jazz last Wednesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Kennard's points were the most he has had all year.

San Antonio is expected to lose this next one by 6. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 10-3 against the spread when expected to lose.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a victory. The teams are out to make things right after dropping matches they were expected to win, so stay tuned to see which squad bounces back.
