San Antonio vs. Los Angeles C

Our pick leverages San Antonio’s +8.2 Net Rating and 10-game win streak, fueled by Victor Wembanyama’s back-to-back 41-point games and league-leading 3.1 BPG. Despite a rest disadvantage, the Spurs’ interior dominance and #2 rebounding rank (47.0 RPG) create a physical mismatch for a Clippers core missing Bradley Beal and ranking 29th on the boards. We anticipate San Antonio’s elite defense (3rd overall) will stifle an aging Los Angeles rotation to complete a season sweep.
