San Antonio Spurs Daily Fantasy Spin
Spurs rookie center Victor Wembanyama was instrumental in his team’s 126-122 home win over the Rockets on Friday night. In that game, the 7’4” French national scored 21 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, blocked 3 shots, and collected 3 steals. His size, length, and skill make him one of the more intriguing #1 overall picks in recent years.
San Antonio shooting guard Devin Vassell was also excellent on Friday night. Vassell poured in 25 points while making 7 of 13 shots from the field and 3 of 7 shots from beyond the arc. He led the Spurs in scoring and minutes played in his team’s triumph on Friday.
Los Angeles Clippers Daily Fantasy Spin
Clippers shooting guard Terance Mann won’t play in his team’s game against the Spurs Sunday night. Mann is dealing with a left ankle sprain. Terance Mann averaged 10.6 points per game in 26.6 minutes per contest in the playoffs for the Clippers last season.
Los Angeles lost their game at Utah on Friday night, 120-118, but Norman Powell provided a valiant scoring effort in the defeat. In 25 minutes off the bench, Powell racked up 20 points while converting 7 of 10 shots from the field and 2 of 4 shots from three-point land.

Spurs vs. Clippers NBA Prediction:
The San Antonio Spurs selected 7’4” 210-pound Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft. He reportedly has an 8-foot wingspan and has hands that are larger than Clippers star Kawhi Leonard’s. Wembanyama has a chance to be one of the best players in the NBA sooner rather than later due to his size and skills. The early returns have been good. In 2 games, Wembanyama is averaging 18.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game. His ability to impact this game on both ends of the floor cannot be overstated.
The Clippers are coming off of a road loss to Utah in which they shot 53.2% from the field. The problem was, Los Angeles allowed 16 made three-pointers and allowed 22 free throw attempts. The Spurs have always been on the cutting edge of analytics and will likely aim to shoot a bevy of three-pointers and free throws on Sunday. I believe they can use that formula to keep the game respectable throughout. I’ll take Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs, and the points on Sunday night.
