The LA Clippers take on the San Antonio Spurs in the second of a back-to-back fixture. The Clippers just defeated the Spurs last night and will be looking to do the same again. Despite having a strong season so far, the Clippers still hold the third seed in the West and will be looking to move up the conference ladder come playoff time.

The San Antonio Spurs have struggled for consistency this season. The Spurs are still in rebuild mode right now but have been getting wins over big teams in a convincing fashion. Gregg Popovich will look to get one over the Clippers after the last game. With DeMar DeRozan playing at an All-Star level, they will walk in with the utmost confidence and determination ahead of the game.

With that in mind, take a look at how the Clippers taking on the Spurs will go.

If last night’s performance was anything to go by, the Clippers will have no problems dealing with the Spurs.
