The Spurs recently lost to the Trail Blazers 84-102 on the road. Their top producers were Tony Parker with a low 15pts, while Tim Duncan added 14pts. They shot 42% from the field.

They are 2-3 SU in their last five road games where they’ve averaged 92.2 ppg and given up an average 90.2 ppg. After missing the previous three games with a quad injury, Duncan wasn't much of a factor in San Antonio's loss at Portland, as he sat the entire fourth quarter. The Spurs don't want to push Duncan but they could use him at his best. Duncan had 20pts and 15 rebounds in San Antonio's 86-83 win at Los Angeles on Nov. 17. He had eight points with nine assists in the Spurs' 106-84 home win over the Clippers on Jan. 8 – their most recent matchup. The Southwest Division-leading Spurs are second in the Western Conference, one game ahead of Northwest Division-leading Denver. The Spurs lead the Clippers 10-0 SU in their last 10 meetings.
The Clippers recently lost to the Bobcats 95-100 at home. Their top scorers were Zach Randolph with 33pts nine rebounds, while Al Thornton added 16pts and Marcus Camby pulled down 13 rebounds.

They are 3-2 SU in their last five home games where they’ve averaged 110.6 ppg and given up an average 112.4 ppg. With star rookie point guard Eric Gordon likely to miss his third straight game with a bruised shoulder, Los Angeles may be forced to rely on Randolph, averaging 22.4 ppg, to score and help contain Duncan. Randolph is averaging 25.3 points and 11 rebounds in his last four contests overall, but has totaled only 28 points in his last two games versus the Spurs.
