NBA Playoffs
Western Conference - First Round
Tip-off: Saturday, 8:05 p.m. ET
Line: Los Angeles -2.0, Total: 204.0

The Clippers had their backs against the wall in Game 6 and came away with a 102-96 victory as 5.5-point underdogs. This series now comes down to a win-or-go home contest at the Staples Center on Saturday and Los Angeles has lost its past two home games against the Spurs both straight up and against the spread. San Antonio has actually won four of the past six games its played in Los Angeles straight up and against the spread as well. This game could come down to just how well PG Tony Parker plays. Parker had just eight points on 4-for-12 shooting in Game 6 and has been outplayed by PG Chris Paul all series. He will need to pull himself together and lead his team to a victory in Game 7. PF Blake Griffin is another guy to watch in this one, as he is averaging 24.2 points per game, 13.2 rebounds per game and 7.0 assists per game in this series. The Spurs have not had an answer for his athleticism and he’ll need to continue to attack on Saturday. Some trends to keep an eye on are that San Antonio is 24-7 ATS after a game where it made 12 or more three-point shots over the past two seasons. The Spurs are also 18-7 ATS off an upset loss as home favorites over the past three seasons. PF Glen Davis (Ankle) is questionable for the Clippers in this game and that could be a big loss for a Los Angeles bench that is already completely overmatched by a Spurs second unit that is one of the best in basketball.
