NBA: Saturday's play

Play: L.A. Clippers -3 -105

Time: 8 p.m. ET

TV: TNT

Reasoning: Los Angeles is in the driver's seat now for Game 7 after winning the last meeting at San Antonio. The Clips won that one 102-96 but it shouldn't have been that close. Tim Duncan (12 points, 13 rebounds) was the only starter who played well. It would have been worse had Marco Belinelli not canned seven three-pointers. Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker, Danny Green, Manu Ginobili and Patty Mills combined to go 12-of-44 (27.3%) from the field. And over the last three games Green is 6-of-24 shooting (2-of-16 on threes). Blake Griffin posted his sixth straight double-double in Game 6 and is averaging 24.2 points and 13.2 rebounds in the series. Chris Paul had 19 points, 15 assists and four steals in the last game and DeAndre Jordan is 28-of-40 from the field in the series. The Spurs are 24-20 on the road this season. L.A. has advantages in shooting, makes more threes and free-throws and it commits fewer turnovers. At home the Clippers are 31-13 and they've outscored opponents by 7.6 ppg in those contests.


Record: 354-262-12 (57.5%)
Bankroll: +390.11%
