Bruce’s Analysis:

We’ll excuse the Clips for the non-cover vs. the Spurs last night; LA was up 18 well into the 4th Q before a belated SA push in the final minutes made the final a flattering 122-117. Still, the Clips moved to 15-3 SU their last 18, and covers in 12 of 14. There’s a good chance Kawhi Leonard returns tonight after resting on Tuesday, focusing instead on the more challenging of this back-to-back. Last night’s win has the Clips temporarily into the West’s 4th slot but there are also four other teams on 32 losses. One slip and could drop into play-in territory. Meanwhile, Houston might be ready to gear down, having clinched the Southwest and the West’s second seed. Play Clippers.
