San Antonio hits Inglewood without their 7-4 alien and still get spotted only 4½—Vegas basically shrugging at a Clipper team that bleeds 112 a night and can’t match the Spurs’ 119-point pace. Kawhi will get his 28, but the Clips’ 40-rebound profile is a six-board disadvantage against the league’s top glass-eaters; expect second-chance daggers if the game stays late.
The Spurs’ five-game laugher streak—wins by 14, 15, 32, 25, 25—says the supporting cast already knows how to blitz without Wemby; L.A. would need a 50-point outburst from their bench just to keep the total under that 230½ ceiling. Lock your pick or talk yourself out of it on StreakChat before tip.
