Spurs vs. Clippers

Analysis

Spurs (58-18) are elite but missing Wembanyama (24.7 PPG/11.5 RPG) on back-to-back creates major vulnerability. Clippers desperate for wins at 39-37, fighting for 8th seed to avoid play-in. Key factors favoring Clippers: Home court at Intuit Dome, Kawhi Leonard hot (28+ PPG lately), Spurs on road B2B without their superstar. While Spurs lead season series 2-0, those were close games with Wemby. Spurs still have depth (De'Aaron Fox, Castle) but 46.5% odds seem generous given circumstances. Market correctly pricing Clippers as slight favorites - this feels like a coinflip leaning LAC.
