Stephen Nover's NBA Total of the Month
(NBA) San Antonio vs. LA Clippers,
Total: 205.00 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
The last time these teams met was at Staples Center on Feb. 19. The Clippers won, 119-115, for a combined 234 points. DeAndre Jordan missed 18 free throws in 28 attempts during that game.




The Spurs are likely to send Jordan to the foul line a lot, too, in this matchup, which means frequent clock stoppages.




The Clippers are the No. 2 offensive team in the league averaging nearly 107 points per game. They rank second in field goal percentage and third in 3-point percentage. The Spurs rank in the bottom eight in 3-point defense.




San Antonio averages more than 103 points per game, while ranking third in field goal percentage and sixth in 3-point shooting.




The Spurs have come on strong averaging 109.7 points in their last seven games. Tony Parker could be in line for a big game having had ample rest.




The Clippers finally have gotten fully healthy. They are averaging 112 points during their last 13 games if you discount their 94-86 victory against the Grizzlies, the No. 2 defensive team in the NBA.




A point guard matchup of Parker versus Chris Paul should ensure a fast, up-tempo game.
