Game Insights

  • The Lakers: While the Lakers are favored, they’ve struggled as 3.5-point favorites this season, going just 4-10 against the spread in those situations. They’ll rely on LeBron and AD to lead the way, with Austin Reaves adding offensive firepower.
  • The Spurs: San Antonio has been decent as underdogs, going 8-8 ATS when listed as 3.5-point underdogs or more. Victor Wembanyama is the centerpiece, but Chris Paul’s veteran leadership and Keldon Johnson’s efficiency will be key.

It’s shaping up to be a tight game, with both teams combining for an average of 223.1 points this season, just barely above the 222.5-point over/under. Can the Lakers defend home court, or will Wembanyama and the Spurs snap their losing streak?
