San Antonio at Charlotte

Under Greg Popovich, the San Antonio Spurs have a strong team every year. This season they have had to make due without their top player Kawhi Leonard, and Tony Parker since the ball went up in Game 1. Not many teams could survive that, but the Spurs are 11-7. Charlotte has some good talent, but have yet to put it together, and have been struggling as they are just 3-7 in their last 10 games. The key issue is shooting as they have shot less than 40% in three of their last seven games, and one staple of a Pop coached team is showing up every night on the defensive end. Over the past two decades the Spurs are better than 55% covering vs. the Eastern Conference as a road favorite. Make the play on San Antonio.
